<div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><br></div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline">I'm fairly new to RabbitMQ and we're in the process of setting up our production RabbitMQ servers. We're going to set up a server cluster and will use mirrored queues for high availability. I've read through the great documentation you guys have on these topics but still have some questions.</div>
<div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><br></div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline">1) Given the clustered server redundancy and mirrored queues, is there any reason to still make exchanges/queues/messages durable? Is it just to protect against the case when all nodes in the cluster fail?</div>
<div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline"><br></div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline">2) In order to update the server configuration, it's necessary to restart, correct? If so, what's the best way to accomplish config. updates across a cluster while minimizing downtime and loss of redundancy?</div>

3) Same question for upgrading to a newer version of RabbitMQ?</div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
