[zeromq-dev] Testing the simple load balancing: what should be the order of starting processes?

[Seref Arikan]

Hi Ian,
No, without the load balancer in the picture, when I start the worker,
and then start the client, using the port the worker is listening
(5560), the client sends messages (multipart) and gets back the
response as intended.
Then I start the balancer executable, which has 5559 for front end end
5560 for back end. When I make the client send messages to 5559 (where
the load balancer is listening) the code begins to wait for the first
message's response, and it never receives it. a summary of config:

client (connects to 5559) <---> Balancer (front end:5559 back end:5560
) <----> worker(binds to:5560)

This is windows xp with sp3, latest 2.1 code from git

Thanks for your response
Seref
