[rabbitmq-discuss] Federated Exchange Upstream / Downstream Names

[Chris]

Hi Michael,

I'm sorry-- I'm not sure I follow.

If I did use a topic exchange, and all brokers federated that same
exchange, then senders could specify the 'A', 'B', or 'C' in the routing
key, but... the consumers in 'A', 'B', and 'C' would still need to know
where they are ('A', 'B', or 'C') in order to bind their queue on the right
key.  Binding on '*.requests' would give them all traffic.

On the other hand, if each broker federated a *different* topic exchange,
then we're back in the original situation-- now binding on '*.requests'
would work, but the consumers would need to know where they are to bind
their queue to the right exchange.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

-Chris
