[rabbitmq-discuss] Custom load balancing among consumers?

[Brian Reischl]

You might be able to implement this on the client side using a different 
queue for each message type, and having the clients implement the 
round-robin themselves. 

So what would happen if you got a bunch of type1 messages and no type2's? 
Do all of the types have to go to the same consumer?
