Erick, Thanks for your reply, I tried your suggestions.
1 . When not using loadbalancer if *I have distrib=false* I get consistent results across the replicas. 2. However here's the insteresting part , while not using load balancer if I *dont have distrib=false* , then when I query a particular node ,I get the same behaviour as if I were using a loadbalancer , meaning the distributed search from a node works intermittently .Does this give any clue ?
