hello,

Probably best to send this kind of thing to mcollective's mailing list rather 
than puppets :)

2000 nodes certainly is within my goals with the design, that said there has 
not been such a big deploy.

If any problems at all it will be related to the fast producer/slow consumer 
style problems.  In MC the consumer is very fast (it does very little) but 
still, should there be a problem it will be a fairly simple matter to convert 
the replies to go over a queue rather than a topic.  That should resolve any 
issue with it.

You'd probably want a few activemq instances in a cluster in such a setup, 
though I've heard of much larger client counts on activemq.
