[rabbitmq-discuss] Custom Routing?

Bill

IIUC you are talking about this case:
http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorial-three-python.html  In this instance
you would use (1) in your list below. Does that make sense?  Let me
know if I have misunderstood.

Note: in your (C) your phrase "only once" opens a potential can of
worms.  Please do feel free to describe your use case in more detail
if the above proves helpful.
