I think you would be using them for one shots a lot though, the calling end would likely be constructing a new socket, pushing a message and going away. I guess the benefit of 0MQ would be the usual scale out argument - based purely on DSN you could push messages inproc, ipc or tcp easily. That said, I also wouldn't be surprised if in working out the details it didn't work out easier to use PUB/SUB sockets - pretty much the same setup as before but with the ability to signal multiple other actors with a bit more ease on the calling side.
