bq: but we have limitation on the number of servers that we can use due to budget concerns (limit is 2)
really, really, really push back to your project managers on this. So what you need 3 machines for a ZooKeeper quorum? The needs of ZK are quite light, they don't need a powerful machine. Your managers are saying "for want of spending $1,000 on a machine, which we will waste 10 times that paying engineers to set up an old-style system, we can't go with SolrCloud". You can run the ZooKeeper instances in a separate JVM on your two servers and have a cheap machine running ZK for the third instance if necessary. Another rant finished.....
