[zeromq-dev] [Request] Custom load balancer/routers

[Stefan Sandberg]

  Currently I have a Route class, which can split itself into Path and 
Payload.
Everything I do happens through that class, so it has it's own Recv 
functionality, which will take identity envelopes into account,
and thus able to Send backt the same way.
Since the full route path is treated atomically like that, storing 
incoming instances makes it trivial to mess around with various types of 
loadbalancing,
just send using the same Route but different payload.
It pretty much hides everything about the envelopes I guess. :)

Another possibly more flexible api could be something stack-based, where 
you push 'route-vertices' to construct a path.. ?
