Probably not necessary, but for the record, I will correct myself. What I meant to say here was "making them unique across the whole farm". Obviously the message ids are already unique per-server ... Perhaps also not necessary to say, but nevertheless: localhost_number only affects the assignment of the message id. A server doesn't just look for message ids containing its own localhost_number; any message in the queue is fair game, whatever the message id.
