Distributed edismax query - which handler should be in the shards parameter?

[Shawn Heisey]

I have a handler on my broker core which has defType=edismax and a 
shards parameter in solrconfig.xml.  Currently the handler referenced on 
each shard in the shards parameter is a handler that does NOT have 
defType defined.  The defType parameter is not in the URL that the 
client sends.

It just occurred to me that perhaps the shard queries should be sent to 
a handler with defType=edismax ... is that right, or is my current 
approach OK?

I've had the edismax handler defined for a long time, but it's only been 
in the last few days that it's actually seeing any use.

Thanks,
Shawn
