Splunk indexers cluster

Hi,
I have a lab setup with 1 SH, 1 Master node, 2 indexers peers.
My question is, which one of the indexers should act as the receiving server (from light forwarders).
Both of them?

Thanks

Yes. All forwarders should should have all indexers configured or use Indexer Discovery.
