[zeromq-dev] 0MQ to the rescue

[Matt Weinstein]

XREQ/XREP are used if your requester or servicer needs to wait for a  
response or request, i.e. if you're in a threaded model.

If you're in an asynchronous model, you're going to be doing all the  
housekeeping yourself and anything will work as long as it transports  
packets.
