[rabbitmq-discuss] another scalability nugget: echo exchange?

[Jon Brisbin]

Would it make sense to create an "echo" exchange type that simply fired any messages received into other brokers?

You could create an echo exchange with args like:

destination=[
  "amqp://guest:guest@broker1:5672",
  "amqp://guest:guest@broker2:5672",
  "amqp://guest:guest@broker3:5672",
  "amqp://guest:guest@broker4:5672",
]

(or I could make it where you'd have to look that info up from a config file to keep the logins from being visible to admin clients).

Then when a message is delivered to this exchange, it simply echoes it on to all the brokers listed in the args.

I suppose you could make it configurable to select one rather than all, as well...

Thanks!
