distributed

I'm deciding how to split 3 large sphinx indexes between 3 servers. Each of the 3 indexes is searched separately.

What's more effective:

to host each index on separate machine Example

machine1 - index1 machine2 - index2 machine3 - index3
or to split each index into 3 parts and host each part of the same index on separate machine.

Example

machine1 - index1_chunk1,  index2_chunk1, index3_chunk1
machine2 - index1_chunk2,  index2_chunk2, index3_chunk2
machine3 - index1_chunk3,  index2_chunk3, index3_chunk3

?
