[rabbitmq-discuss] Cluster capability?

Sun Dec 22 17:52:50 GMT 2013

Thanks, Michael.

I was looking at http://www.rabbitmq.com/shovel.html when your post
appeared. The language on that page speaks in terms of source and
destination brokers. Does this mean that Shovel is one way? Put otherwise,
if Cluster 1 is source and Cluster 2 destination, can Cluster 2 also act as
source; or would such a configuration/use require 2 Shovels, one for each
direction?
