[rabbitmq-discuss] Custom Exchange Implementation

Nice. One idea though:

When no node is assigned to a freshly arrived routing key, choose the 
one that has least routing keys attached. If there are several with 
lowest number of bindings choose the first one.

That would spread the load more evenly.
