Suppose a command is sent to several receivers, some of them will perform some
tasks and then send the result back the sender.
So, the connection between sender and each receiver is required. However, I
don't want to create too many connection and the number of receiver may be
increased. Is is possible to use one connection to publish the command and
serve the purpose as above?

Sorry, it is not true that DEALER/ROUTER are used to broadcast requests.
Please describe your purpose so that we can propose the proper solution. Also,
please read the zguide.zeromq.org and focus on chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5. Those
chapters describe the patterns and how to use them for both simple and advanced
techniques.
