Hi Jarkko, We have also been doing this. We run searchd on each web server. This helps us scale more linearly. We are doing it the same way as Josh. The only downside to this approach is your web servers have to be able to transfer files between them and the database server, which could be viewed as a minor security issue.
Best of luck!
