> multiple app servers but only one Sphinx/searchd the caveat is "it will only work for a single searchd instance" - so you should be fine to use the delayed delta with multiple app servers (but it looks like you're not using delayed job anyway).
I use sphinx in a simliar way to you and the most useful information in my index are the attributes (not fields) and you can actually live update the index for these. I've stopped doing delta updates where possible to do the live update instead. I've added a small extension to thinking sphinx which makes it easier run http://pastebin.com/KgwWREnj. (You need sphinx 0.9.9 if you want to live update MVA attributes though) Hope this is helpful.
