Ben, a few questions if you'll humor me: 1. Where is IndexUpToDate()? I looked on IndexWriter but did not see it.
2. Are you closing the IndexWriter after you add a document so that the other server won't be locked out? I'm currently developing on a single server and have not yet set up to experiment with that. 3. Are you Optimizing after each Commit()? If not, when are you optimizing?

I have two servers which share the same index, and hence have the same problem that you have where two writers write to the same directory. The only major thing that I've noticed is that you need to call the IndexUpToDate() method to ensure that you're not writing to a stale index. I've never had issues with thread safety in Lucene, even though all threads share the same accessors.
