Ok. Any thoughts about this forwarder being a single point of failure?

Perfect, this was my plan to begin with. Quick question: does it matter
if the payload after the event tag contains binary characters? I am
using Google Protocol Buffers to marshal my data, so the payload could
contain anything, but I will have a fixed-length printable event tag
(such as your "A|", "B|", etc) prepended to the payload. Will it work,
in the sense that 0MQ will match only on those first N printable bytes
at the beginning?
