[rabbitmq-discuss] message broadcasting in rabbitmq

[Jonas Schwertfeger]

In general I'd use a fanout exchange for broadcasting.

As for your message transmission concerns: If you're worried about network 
traffic you could run a local RabbitMQ server on the machine with the 1000 
consumers, have the consumers bind to a fanout exchange on that local 
server, and use RabbitMQ's shovel plugin 
(http://www.rabbitmq.com/shovel.html) to consume the message in question 
from your main, remote broker and to publish it into your local fanout 
exchange. You'll only have one message on the wire then and you'll 
distribute it locally to 1000 consumers.
