Mark, What do you mean by "unload them"? I am using an AWS load balancer with my auto scaling group in stead of using Solr's built-in load balancer. I am no sharding my index. I am using SolrCloud for replication only. I am doing local search on each instance and sending all updates to the shard leader directly because I want to minimize traffic between nodes during search and update
