There's the 'mandatory' flag on basic.publish, which will trigger a 
basic.return on publish if the message could not be routed to *any* queue.

Or you could issue a passive queue.declare every now and then to check 
whether the queue exists.

Neither of these are w/o problems. There was a thread with a similar 
question just a few days ago:
