[rabbitmq-discuss] Configuring beyond rabbitmq server on localhost

[McMahon, James S (TASC)]

Thank you for your help, Francesco. I have a follow-up question.

On the server running my rabbitmq instance, how do I tell it "service incoming requests to send or read messages by listening on port 1234"? When you say Rabbit binds on all interfaces by default, that doesn't mean it monitors all ports does it? There must be some need to have rabbitMQ listen on a specific port restricted only to its appropriate traffic.

To communicate with a remote rabbit server you need, as you guessed, to specify
the remote host and port when establishing a connection to the broker.  In the
case of the Java client you can do that with the relevant `ConnectionFactory'
methods.

Rabbit will bind on all interfaces by default, so the broker will be accessible
remotely.

There are various way to cluster/federate rabbit brokers, see
http://www.rabbitmq.com/distributed.html for a comparison between the various
approaches.
