An interesting idea! One can easily imagine an AMQP 0-9-1 proxy that
accepts connections and multiplexes the opened channels into channels on
a single connection to the real RabbitMQ Server. Essentially an "AMQP
concentrator".

It ought even to be fairly easy to implement, using perhaps the
(internals of the) Java client library... anyone fancy having a go?
