Do you mean having a multicast group of brokers?

Thanks Adrian..
We already went through these and did manage to set up a network..the
problem was
1) the other broker was used only when there was a failover and not as a
load balancer
2) the other broker needed its own set of consumers.
What we wanted to try out was if the 2 brokers would load balance but there
would be only 1 consumer..
thanks

We are trying to achieve load balancing with single producer and single
consumer instance and multiple Brokers.
What we are trying to achive is have only one Consumer connect to one
broker
and listen to a queue but for load-balancing reasons ( or if the broker
goes
down ) , it should automatically connect to the next broker and consume
the
messages.
Is this setup possible ?
To be more clear, can we create a "virtual" broker / queue that a
producer
and consumer can use , but it is actually composed of a network of
brokers ,
such that
they can share the load or provide failover capabilities.
Of course , this is not load balancing the application but only the
brokers...
