Nice Tutorial @MattW
I hope I can use this in the future.
What's the benefits of using 2 nodes on the same network?

distributed
Elasticsearch allows you to start small, but will grow with your business. It is built to scale horizontally out of the box. As you need more capacity, just add more nodes, and let the cluster reorganize itself to take advantage of the extra hardware.

I've done this purely to see if I could, as I've got a 2nd Linode running for my test site, and have put Memcached and Elasticsearch on both of them to have them distributed. My site doesn't need this set up, but at least I know how to do it now
