[zeromq-dev] Quick question on usage of patterns

[Andrew Hume]

unless you're not telling us something,
the simplest solution is two sockets:
app1.PUSH => app2.PULL: for M1
app2.PUSH => app1.PULL: for various ACKs

as for the matching, i would include an job id with M1 and the ACKs.
or if you don't want to do that, use the system name (Box2) as the id.
both these solutions generalise in different directions.
