Thanks for the response... Any idea on the round-robin not working? I have a queue with 16 consumers, all have pre-fetch set to 1. Five consumers are actively processing requests and 3 requests are pending.... the 11 other consumers are idle. History has shown that a new request may go to one of the 11 idle works, but its like those 3 requests are reserved for some of the working ones. I can't figure out what setting would help this, or if this just was a bug with 5.3....
