I'm not sure if this was preventing anyone from using Virgil, but we added run-modes to Virgil to accomodate users that have an existing cluster. Now, you can just point Virgil at the remote instance and use it only for the GUI/REST layer and SOLR integration. http://brianoneill.blogspot.com/2011/11/introducing-run-modes-to-virgil-support.html
Let us know if you have any trouble getting up and running. -brian -- Brian ONeill Lead Architect, Health Market Science (http://healthmarketscience.com) mobile:215.588.6024 blog: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/boneill42/ blog: http://brianoneill.blogspot.com/
