I'm not very familiar with the .net API but something like:

IModel channel = ...;
channel.ExchangeDeclare("alternate", "fanout", true);
IDictionary args = new Dictionary();
args.Add("alternate-exchange", "alternate");
channel.ExchangeDeclare("main", "topic", true, false, args);

This would declare two exchanges, "main" and "alternate". "alternate" is 
the alternate-exchange for "main".

Next to "Arguments" enter "alternate-exchange" in the first field on the 
left, and the name of the alternate exchange in the second field on the 
right.

Not sure I understand. Exchanges exist in all nodes in a cluster 
simultaneously - so using alternate exchanges is no different in a cluster.

Cheers, Simon
