[rabbitmq-discuss] Clustering and scaling

Wed Sep 7 19:04:59 BST 2011

Hi Stuart,

I haven't fully understood whether you want scaling for redundancy or
scaling for load balancing.
In the first case I don't see why you're interested in the number of consumers.
In the second case I don't see why you're interested in replication.
