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

[Langston, Jim]

This is the one that caught my attention, since the federation description
is what I currently have , two clusters, each independent, but need to
exchange the messages. The are on the same LAN , just have different jobs
to do. This was the place I saw that federation was the way to do it, I
thought
maybe combining the clusters into one would do it as well, but I didn't see
where that was doable, even given that everything is identical as far as
configurations.
