[zeromq-dev] Load balancing REQ/REP is blocked when a server dies

[Jaime Fernández]

I'm starting with zmq and I try to implement a system where a client
communicates with one of the available servers by balancing the load.

I've modified the client and server available at:
http://github.com/imatix/zguide/blob/master/examples/Python/hwclient.py
http://github.com/imatix/zguide/blob/master/examples/Python/hwserver.py
so that the client connects to two different servers:
socket.connect ("tcp://localhost:5555")
socket.connect ("tcp://localhost:5556")

However, when I kill one of the servers, the client blocks forever.

Is it a bug of the Python binding? Is there any mechanism or best practice
to avoid the effect?

Thanks in advance,
Jaime
