In the scenario you describe this should work fine, because the node
that a client connects to will be the same as the master node for the
private queue. In general it is possible to connect to one node, while
consuming from a queue which has its master on a different node. In that
case consumers must be prepared to receive notification that the master
is now on a different node (receive basic.cancel) and resubscribe to the
queue.
