Hi! The federation plugin definitely works :-) but I don't think it's 
what you want; it will transfer messages...

If you want to sync two brokers without transferring messages at all 
then your best bet is to write a script to export definitions at X 
(using the mgmt plugin /api/definitions), transfer the config JSON to Y, 
and reapply it at Y.
