You are right David. Implementing a scalable and reliable platform is certainly the most difficult thing to do and consume a lot of time / resources between teams involved in infrastructure management. Personnaly, I think that the scenario must be analyzed regarding to the project or if there is a decision about the company to work with ActiveMq as the global queueing engine, than you have to consider the approach described here (http://activemq.apache.org/networks-of-brokers.html) very carefully.
Other solutions could be investigated to support scalability in an environment like : - NMR clustering : http://servicemix.apache.org/SMX4NMR/13-clustering.html - Loadbalance requests (through a HTTP proxy) to camel endpoints/routes using RESTFull services - ...
