Hi All,<div><br></div><div>During my investigations for designing a completely fail safe messaging scenario the ideal option was to have local brokers that shovel to a central broker. That way if the central brokers ever went down messages would just be queued locally for delivery later.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I finally got around to using the shovel plugin and while it had everything I was looking for, there were some drawbacks (for me at least). It seems that whenever I want to create a queue that gets pushed to an exchange on another server I have to edit the rabbitmq.config for this and then restart the service. I'm just curious if there is a softer way to handle this that allows for more dynamic forwarding (one feature I always liked about AMQP is that client apps can define exchanges and queues rather than having an admin set them up).</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm also open to other possibilities for HA that handle when the main broker cluster goes offline or is unreachable. :)</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>James</div>
