I've set up a simple 4-broker system, where between Bs (source broker) and Bd (destination broker) are two middle brokers set up in parallel, like this:
[image: Inline image 1] The script that I used to set up all the resources & routes is shown at the end of this message. I attached a publisher to Bs and attached 3 subscribers to the other 3 brokers. What I was expecting to see was all 3 brokers should see messages. The actual observation was: Only B1 and Bf received messages. B2 never received messages, even when B1 was down. route map showed that all broker connections were set up as expected, but why would only the first route work and not the other? (I have added more brokers B3 B4... into the test, always, only the first established route would work.) Please help.
