Yes. Shovel or (exchange) Federation.

Shovel and exchange federation basically replicate message streams of an
exchange
to another node/cluster. Queue federation distributes queue contents
between nodes/clusters
(this is NOT replication but rather a form of partitioning).

Shovel connects two nodes. You can connect node A to B, then B to C.
