And, adding my question... When Master Broker goes down, is there any way that administrators get a notification(e-mail etc...) that it went down.
Should Only a "manual" restart to bring it up again?

Im using activemq-cpp. The slave broker won't accept connections until it becomes the master so the client won't connect to a slave. It will just keep moving through the list of URI's attempting to connect until a broker becomes available.
