Right, at the minute the last values are transient. It probably wouldn't 
take much coding to make it save things to disk for durable exchanges.

It will work with any queue.   However, if you have many consumers to a 
queue, each message will be delivered to one consumer only -- that's the 
semantics of AMQP queues.  So, in your case, I think you want a queue 
for each consumer anyway.
