I have a small index (around 200K documents) which I want my application to query as a whole locally (no shards). The data is re- index daily by a single machine. How do I set it up to replicate to 3 or more servers so that each server gets the complete index? Thanks! ---

Assuming you have 4 servers, if you set the numberOfShards to 1 and numberOfReplicas to 3, you'd have 1 shard at every server. You don't have to do anything other than that. If you have more servers, just increase the number of replicas.
