Hi all, A little more information.
I looked at the acks that were being sent back from the subscriber. Under heavy load the messageCount field in the ack message sometimes goes negative. Once that happens, it is not long before the subscriber quits sending acks. I have tried small and large values for prefetchSize(100,100,10000) but it makes no difference. I have worked around this problem by setting optimizeAcknowlege to false. -- Tìoraidh!
