[rabbitmq-discuss] Is there ever a need for a federation and a cluster?

[Michael Cumings]

I'm in the process of setting up multiple clusters, each cluster is in a
different data center separated by WANs.  I don't want to try to cluster
across a WAN connection, but there are some messages that I want to be able
to route to both locations.
