We have some customers doing things a bit like that, eg using Shovel.
See some of the slides here:
http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/cloud-grid/use-cases-for-cloud-messaging

See also, attached, some currently *experimental* work towards more
general cases, akin to yours.  You can read more about this customer's
use cases on their (public) wiki page, eg:
