Just as an aside - if anyone is looking to seriously get into Solr, I cannot recommend this book enough: http://www.packtpub.com/solr-1-4-enterprise-search-server/book
Solr is an amazing product, but its online documentation can be lacking. The above book really takes you end to end with Solr, and shows you pretty much everything that can be done with it, from features, through to deployment.
