Hi Bjorn, this is exactly what network of brokers are supposed to do. Note that broker will forward a message to other broker only if there is a consumer for that destination on the other broker. You can ensure that messages go only to the next broker in the network, by setting networkTTL parameter to 1. You can also exclude some destinations for a certain network connector and ensure that messages are never forwarded. Take a look at http://activemq.apache.org/networks-of-brokers.html for more detailed examples.
