There are two separate parts of using Sphinx.
- Indexing (building up your index of data from the database)
- Serving results with searchd
If you were able to serve results from either of the two machines then you'd be able to balance some of the load and also handle a failure of one of the instances.
To save processing time it should be quicker to index on one of the two machines and then copy the indexes across. The alternative is to have each of the machines create their own index which will use more processing power.
