All brokers in a master/slave cluster receive the message; only the master dispatches it to consumers. Then messages are stored and forwarded to other master/slave clusters as they pass along the network-of-brokers (if there are consumers available on other master/slave clusters). > That would be nice, as that way we can have all the > parsers from all the machines working and busy.

Consumer are the things which would parse the message and do something with it. To a broker; a message is a just a blob of data to be routed around a network - the Consumer is the thing which actually does something with it. -- James ------- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration http://open.iona.com
