Unfortunately, I have found with ActiveMQ 5.2 that when you have a Master/Slave configured with identical camel routes, both routes are active and will process records. The master/slave failover doesn't seem to apply to the camel routes in the ActiveMQ configuration.
It would be far more convenient if the routes acted like the JMS Bridging function. Can you confirm this?
