In that situation then you want to use a forwarder device. The forwarder device binds to an incoming and an outgoing port. The publisher(s) connect to the incoming port and the subscriber(s) connect to the outgoing port of the device. All messages flow through the device to the subscribers. By using the intermediate device, the subscribers do *not* need to know about every possible publisher. It's a very neat and tidy solution. cr _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
