Janne, Have you found your query relevancy to deteriorate with this setup? Something to be aware of with distributed searches is that the relevancy of each Solr core response is based on the local index to that core. So if you're distributed Solr setup does not distribute documents randomly (as is certainly the case for you) your relevancy scores will be poor.
