Hi What version of ActiveMQ are you referring to? For v5, it is possible to have a load balancer health check http://hostname:8162/jolokia/api on both broker instances of a master/slave setup - if it receives a response then this is the master and it should direct all traffic to this node.

Unfortunately, the consumer I'll be using is a proprietary tool that can only accept very simple (hostname / port / destination name) connection details to the brokers and so as far as I can tell I can't use the failover: protocol here. Can I use something like a master/slave configuration with a separate load balancer sitting in front of the brokers? This would then give a single connection point that I can aim our consumer at. Is there a better way of doing this?
