Oh, of course. Yes, I want that to happen too. Basically clients should 
not have to know anything about how the server / cluster is configured.

For mirrored queues that's conceptually quite easy; add some mirrors, 
wait for them to catch up, remove the old ones and you're done.

For non-mirrored queues this would be fairly horrible... unless you're 
happy for the queue to pause while data is migrated.
