[rabbitmq-discuss] Federation and QoS

Tue Jan 31 11:11:45 GMT 2012

It's important to remember that the RabbitMQ federation plugin federates 
*exchanges*, not queues. The idea is that any message that gets 
federated will get sent to all the brokers in the federation.

If you want to ensure that each message only gets consumed in one broker 
you will need to send messages around using the shovel at the moment by 
having multiple shovels consume from a single queue.

Cheers, Simon
