Hi Gary, Yes, we saw in the debug logs that remote consumer and subscription are added to the local broker. We noticed the prefetch count was 1000, instead of 1 on the consumer's uri. We added the prefetchSize to the networkConnector, but still the same result. When we use consumers that consume messages quickly - the cluster load balanced evenly. However, when we made the processing from 1 to 20 secs (via a parameter in each message), the broker where the producer is connected and when the consumer on that broker was busy already, the broker seems to directed the message to the other brokers - even if the consumers on the other brokers were busy/processing as well.
Really appreciate you and all the folks who are helping. Hope some of this feedback will help.
