When you send a message when using the Failover transport the Message will be sent if the client is currently disconnected and later reconnects or if the connection is lost mid send. If the blocking nature of the send call is unacceptable then you could of course relegate your sends to a separate thread. Depends on the problem you are trying to solve.
