I haven't tried this myself, but it sounds like what you're looking for is
enabling remote streaming:
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ContentStream#head-7179a128a2fdd5dde6b1af553ed41735402aadbfAs the link above shows you should be able to enable remote streaming like
this: <requestParsers enableRemoteStreaming="true"
multipartUploadLimitInKB="2048" /> and then something like this might work:
stream.url=
http://www.sub.myDomain.com/files/pdfdocs/testfile.pdf<
http://www.sub.mydomain.com/files/pdfdocs/testfile.pdf>
So you use stream.url instead of stream.file.
Hope this helps.
