No.
Disclaimer: I'm not a 0MQ expert, and I haven't read the source code
or the documentation for this. But late last week, I incorrectly
assumed that the same 0MQ ID works for the entire lifetime of a
server, even if clients disconnect and reconnect. That incorrect
assumption cost me 2 days of debugging. Learn from my fail. ;-)
