I don't know if "hijacking" the socket is expected behavior. I would hope that multiple sockets with the same identity connecting to one 0mq socket would cause an error. That sounds like a bad idea. If you *close* a socket, reusing its identity later should be okay. Given your example, a message routed to socket with identity "ABCD" should *only* go to socket "ABCD". It should *not* also go to "ABCD1", "ABCD2", etc. because those identities do not match. What are you trying to accomplish? You might be choosing the wrong socket pattern to achieve your goals. Give us an idea of your goal and perhaps we can suggest a better solution. cr _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list zeromq-dev@lists.zeromq.org http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
