Sounds simple. Unfortunately I haven't been able to make one client talk to two shard regions in the same time.
Here is a simple example with two shard regions: https://github.com/dragisak/akka-multi-shard-proxy I am seeing messages arriving to one shard or to the other. Haven't been able to achieve expected behavior of messages arriving to all nodes. Can you take a look to see if I haven't misconfigured something ?
