is this a trivial thing to do?  I know the queue and binding
definitions are in a mnesia database, which is hostname dependent.  If
you had whatever machine that's actively running rabbit always have
the dns entry "rabbit.example.com", and you always start your erlang
with -name rabbit at rabbit.example.com, will mnesia always come up and
have everything working?
