[rabbitmq-discuss] simple federation question

[Bobby Castleberry]

So I'm attempting a simple federation setup.  I have one server 
distributing an exchange to two end point servers.  Well it seems like it 
should be a simple set up but I must be missing something obvious.  When I 
check the federation status I just see []...done.  I've confirmed that I 
can connect to both of the end points from the distribution server just 
fine on 5672.  There are no errors in the main or startup logs.  If anyone 
can point me in a direction for something to check or a mistake in the 
config I would be greatly appreciative.

          { exchange, "graphite" },
