In ZeroMQ 4.1: man zmq-setsockopt
ZMQ_ROUTER_HANDOVER: handle duplicate client identities on ROUTER sockets
If two clients use the same identity when connecting to a ROUTER, the
results shall depend on the ZMQ_ROUTER_HANDOVER option setting. If
that is not set (or set to the default of zero), the ROUTER socket
shall reject clients trying to connect with an already-used identity.
If that option is set to 1, the ROUTER socket shall hand-over the
connection to the new client and disconnect the existing one.
Option value type int
Option value unit 0, 1
Default value 0
Applicable socket types ZMQ_ROUTER
It takes a (long) while for tcp sockets to timeout and die when not
shut down properly. So when the server restarts the old connection
probably still lingers and prevents the new one from working. With
fixed identities you want to enable ZMQ_ROUTER_HANDOVER.
