[zeromq-dev] Many to many

[Lee Sylvester]

That's wonderful, thank you. But, what about across servers? Wouldn't I need to rely on TCP? If so, can they also do this?

Thanks,
Lee

>> Thank you for your reply, Witney, but I need it the other way. I need a sub socket to be connected to multiple pub endpoints... This is because every instance will have a single publisher, telling all who is interested about events, but that same service will want to list to an arbitrary number of other services for their events. Essentially, I'd be forming a type of mesh, where each service has  two endpoint (pub and sub) and all connect to all. I knew pub could connect to many, as it binds, but I'm guessing the subs cannot connect to many?

I already have a discovery mechanism and logging, but what I need is for a service to bind to a pub socket and subscribe to a set list of instances of itself on the server and other servers. The Zyre framework, although awesome, seems a little large for my needs as I already have a number of the features it supplies built in to my framework. Is it possible for a sub socket to bind to multiple pub sockets?  If so, where is there an example of this? Can I also add a pub socket to listen to when all is already running?
