Hi Tommaso, I believe you can tell each server to act as a master (which means it can have its indexes pulled from it).
You can then include the master hostname in the URL that triggers a replication process. Thus, if you triggered replication from outside solr, you'd have control over which master you pull from. Does this answer your question?
