[rabbitmq-discuss] ConnectionFactory and load balancing

Mon Jan 9 22:03:23 GMT 2012

Hi,
I am running an active/active cluster.  The newConnection(Address[])
method of ConnectionFactory takes an array of addresses to try to
connect to, in order.  If I'd like to avoid HAProxy for now, it seems
like it would be wise for me to randomize this array of Addresses
before calling newConnection, to achieve some degree of load
balancing.  Is that a worthwhile approach?
Thank you,
Adam
