Hi Raul Since Sphinx talks directly to MySQL, it's definitely best to have it on the same server. Theplugins will be able to talk to a remote server (provided the port isn't blocked), so you should be fine with just the one Sphinx daemon.
That said, if it does prove to be a bottleneck (whether that happens I've no idea - perhaps the Engine Yard guys know more), you could have multiple daemons on different servers, but you only need to index the data once, and then you can copy the index files across to each server that has a Sphinx daemon.
