So you're using N+1 live brokers, meaning you may then lose some data if one of the brokers goes down (any data from the broker that has yet to be consumed), but at least your overall service will keep running? That's the model we're thinking of using as well, at first I was thinking about setting up mirroring but reviewing the notes appeared to me to indicate that you've got the same vulnerability with mirroring (where MirrorMaker might not have read all the data).
