Rabbit is a message broker, which means that one client publishes
messages to an exchange in Rabbit and another client consumes this
message from a queue that they are subscribed to. The way in which the
message goes into a particular queue is configured using routing
rules. So if I understand you correctly, you could use Rabbit to solve
your use case. Let me know if you need more detail.

HTH,
