Is this a limitation per RabbitMQ cluster then? Just trying to get a feel
for how I need to architect the cluster and application code...

Does RabbitMQ re-use old channel numbers? I have a channel pool that my
basic.consume clients use. These pools are torn down whenever my client
process restarts, which is often multiple times per day (whenever we push an
update to the web farm).
