Right. The listener does not keep state on connection loss. The library _used_ to have durable identities but that was both nasty to implement, and unsafe since holding arbitrary state in servers makes them fragile. That functionality disappeared in libmq 3.0 and is not defined in the protocol. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
