0MQ itself doesn't impose any limit on  opened connections (aside of 4 
billion limit due to use of 32 bit indices). However, the figure is 
limited by the underlying OS. Here you have to have a look at the OS 
documentation to find out how to set the limits so that they meet your 
needs.

There are two concepts involved here. One is "binding" - that's the 
thing that's implemented already. It means that you want to have 
physical connection to the data feed.

The other one is "routing" which determines which messages are to be 
actually delivered. You may be interested only in a small portion of the 
overall feed.

Here's an example of how it should work:

create_queue ("Q");
bind ("MY_GLOBAL_EXCHANGE", "Q");
subscribe ("Q", "value>10");
message_t msg;
receive (&msg);

Line 2 creates a connection to the box hosting MY_GLOBAL_EXCHANGE. Line 
3 specifies that only messages with property 'value' greater than 10 are 
required.

Doest that make sense?
