[rabbitmq-discuss] using load balancer with consumers to support automatic reconnection for node failure

Fri Mar 16 13:44:43 GMT 2012

Were trying to use a load balanced address for the rabbit mq nodes with no luck in our Consumer code. The idea being that if we get an error due to the node going down we reconnect on the Load Balanced addres and get the other node that is running.

We are not having much luck. It works for a while but then we get "Connection Reset" errors every few minutes. Taking the 2nd node out of the pool makes it work but obviously that's not what we want. Using the "real" node address also works. I know we can do this through code using the conenctionFactory.newConnention(...Address[] addresses) method but would have preferred to do this using hardware load balancer.
