[TYPO3-Solr] Use replicated Solr servers

Hi,

Due to redundancy reasons this was a requirement by a customer of mine a
few weeks ago too.

And that is exactly what we've done there. nginx sits as reverse Proxy
before Tomcat (controlled by Pacemaker and shifted between
Servers/Datacenters if necessary) and redirect reads to both Solr
Servers but writes to the Master only.

Bye,
