Remote test question

We're using JMeter 2.3.4 r785646 with 'jmeter-server' running on two nodes (as a test) and the test plan being run via jmeter.sh on a fifth, jmeter-server nodes specified via the '-R' flag on the command line.

As a test, I setup a test plan with a thread group with number of threads set to 4, loop count 1.  It seems as though this is resulting in each jmeter-server node running a full set of threads, rather than the load being distributed across the nodes (all of them are behind a firewall that appears as 172.16.215.4 (IP address changed) on the LAN the webserver is connected to), so, 2 servers X 4 threads = 8 connections to the webserver.  This seems counter-intuitive.  Am I accurately interpreting these results?

Many thanks,
Chris

Sorry for the long delay in replying.

JMeter sends the test plan to all the servers, which all run the same test plan.
JMeter does not distribute the load.
