Thanks for the feedback. 

In case I can't use the router broker socket approach in my use case, what do 
you think about creating multiple DEALER sockets on client side  - one for each 
server endpoint (ROUTER socket)?  Is it recommended by zeromq best practices?

In my use case, client has list of server endpoints and client selects server 
before sending the message. 

Thanks

Ashish

a ROUTER socket on the client can connect to multiple ROUTER sockets on servers.

Such a client ROUTER socket can choose a specific ROUTER socket to send its 
messages to.

socket.connect(endpoint). Do I need to reconnect?
