HI list

Is the remote search mature for production now?

Can I use:

Database.addDatabase(xapian.remote.open("server1",33333);
Database.addDatabase(xapian.remote.open("server2",33333);
Database.addDatabase(xapian.remote.open("server3",33333);
Database.addDatabase(xapian.remote.open("server4",33333);

to distrubute my searches into 4 machines, so each machine will handle part 
of the index, aimed to
speed up the search, load-balance the I/O, CPU usage in ranking...etc

will this work?
and will I better off by using this setting other than single setup?

Thx
Andrey
