Matt, > Yep, sounds like the firewall constraint is going to nix the static network. Very nice to get a confirmation on that, it takes away the remaining doubt.
> it sounds like your options are to look at implementing a series of bridges That is exactly what we already started doing, and indeed with wildcards. But I'll now take a second look at Camel. thx!!!

Yep, sounds like the firewall constraint is going to nix the static network. If you must create connections in one-direction, it sounds like your options are to look at implementing a series of bridges. Check out Camel. ActiveMQ supports consuming from multiple queues and using wildcards, and composite destinations[1]. This gets you the dynamic consumer behavior without having to use advisories. ie.. consume from uri=“queue:ORDER <queue://ORDER>.>" would match all queues that start with “ORDER." You can do dynamic deploy and have process control with Camel, so that is a bonus for when endpoints turn-up or down and if you need to recycle the connections for what ever reason.
