[zeromq-dev] Re-connecting after server dies

[Dan Cooper]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm using beta2 from the website, running display on one machine (Windows), prompt on the other (Windows) and forwarder in the middle (LInux). If forwarder goes away for any amount of time, the messages are no longer received.

Thanks,
Dan
