Hi all, I also have the same problem as Pieter but using Active MQ 4.1.1.
My application requires messages to be sent from one site to another, but he network connections may not be available. Each site has its own instance of ActiveMQ running which is always available. (ActiveMQ is required for other applications so it cannot be run as an embedded broker.) Each site has a queue on which it receives its messages and can send on all the other queues at the other sites. Head office has an instance of ActiveMQ which acts as a bridge between sites and their queues. Sites do not communicated directly with each other. I can successfully send and receive messages from one site to another and on the correct queue for the site. Also I cannot receive back messages that were sent on other queues (which is the behavior I want) The problem occurs when I bring down the Head Office ActiveMQ instance (either by shutting down or breaking the network connection). When I bring the Head Office instance back up, messages are no longer routed to their destinations and can be received locally. I also get repeating messages. To get the message routing to work again, I must bring up all the sites in the order Head Office, site 1, site 2 , etc. I have provided the configurations I use below: I would appreciate any suggestions As a matter of interest, this project is for a winery and the system spans three states in Australia.

I have two activemq servers, local and remote. Each connect to eachother with a static networkConnector configurator. I have a consumer connecting to one of the servers, with a durable subscription on a topic. Everything works as expected: the consumer receives messages sent to either server, no matter to which server is connected. The problem comes when i kill one server, say the server 'remote'. The consumer can continue on the server 'local' without any problems. Messages sent to 'local' are received. When I start 'remote' again, the problem faces: if I connect the consumer to 'remote', I keep receiving the messages over and over again, even though I ACK each message. The only way to stop this, is to kill both servers, and remove their data directories (both brokers have the persistent flag set). All messages are also persistent. Am I doing something wrong? I searched JIRA, but couldn't find any related issues. Is this a bug? This way the network of brokers feature is not very useful, I want to restart crashed/killed brokers without needing to stop the other brokers first.
