Architecture question re: huge indexes

I intend to have a Drupal 6 site with some cutom node types indexed by ApacheSolr using the XML Schema provided. However, I'd like to add a lot of gigantic indexes to it that reside only in the Lucene/Solr system (ha) and not physically in my Drupal MySQL database. For example, I may have a thousand or even a hundred thousand nodes in Drupal, but I might have ten different "external" indexes with millions of records each, and I'd like to conduct faceted search against the whole lot of 'em.
