[zeromq-dev] Many to many

[Justin Karneges]

Bind vs connect is independent of socket type. You can bind a SUB socket and 
connect many PUB sockets to it.

So, you could have each service bind a PUB socket and a SUB socket, and then 
connect each to all other services' SUB sockets and PUB sockets respectively.
