Hi Casper,

For this use case, there's an option on the ActiveMQ networkConnector
to set up a duplex connection. That way, you don't have to open up a
port in the firewall from the DMZ to the internal network - you could
only initialize the connection from the internal network broker to the
one in the DMZ and you can still get messages being forwarded in both
directions.


Regards,

Gert Vanthienen
