But I didn't think the 0MQ API provided a way for the application to detect whether its chosen endpoint is reachable or not, and hence move to a different server. Or have I missed something? > 2.

Sure - or a TCP load-balancer, if your server nodes are located near to each other. Having clients be able to failover to a secondary data centre, or load balance across two data centres, is still desirable.
