My main question would be, do you really *need* to spread the load among multiple brokers? If you've got exclusive consumers on a lot of different queues then you're already drastically limiting performance since you're eliminating concurrent message consumption from all those queues. Is a single broker not able to handle the load even with the exclusive consumers? What numbers are you aiming at and what numbers are you actually getting?
