Issue
Example question --
I have 2 different servers on the same network not clustered, can use the same SilverTap to capture traffic? (The purpose is to use one server as a development server.)
Resolution
It is suggested to build a separate SilverTap that will feed off a mirror port of the load balancer. This should be configured similarly to your Production mirror port taking data off the load balancer. It would not be exactly the same traffic that passes through each system, as normally network traffic has its collisions, dropped packets, etc. The traffic would likely be a little different for each separate SilverTap.
Note: Also, what would not work if considering this as an option -- to take the same traffic from loadbalancer port to a different ethernet port on one Silvertap and configure the second system with the different port. This also would not work, the SilverTap needs to belong to one system. While you can have more than one SilverTap for a given analytics box, you cannot do the reverse.
