Thanks very much,
This is not answering the question you are asking but it might be of interest. You can use qpid dispatch, which is a "brokerless" AMQP router to connect together brokers that don't know anything about each other from the outside, rather than relying on the brokers to provide the functionality you need. I have no idea if it fits your problem, but it might. There is a system test dispatch/tests/system_tests_broker.py which sets up a "distributed queue" using multiple brokers. In the test they are all qpidd, but they could be any AMQP-speaking broker. The idea is to spread load. Dispatch provides a single "address" which the clients can publish or subscribe to like a queue. However dispatch actually distributes messages from publishers round-robin over all the brokers, and routes messages from any broker that has them to any client that wants them. The brokers don't know anything about it other than providing a normal queue. Dispatch only routes messages, it does not take any responsibility for them (other than to forwards the brokers acknowledgement to the client), so features like persistence, HA etc. in the brokers can work as normal. There isn't a good writeup on this and there is a lot more work I want to do on it, but it does work and is been used in at least one real -world system under development. If it's interesting for your use case I'd like to know about it.
