Yes, but that design is meant to handle very large volumes where one
thread cannot deal with the work. It is not about handling multiple
clients, and there is no concept there of statefulness.

ZMQ_QUEUE was not a queue, and indeed is deprecated. The name was very
misleading. It was a type of device, now called proxy.

Please take my advice and read the documentation, your questions are
based on too many wrong assumptions about how ZeroMQ works.
