[zeromq-dev] More asynchronous broker

[Pieter Hintjens]

We're working on a broker, Malamute,
https://github.com/Malamute/malamute-core, which may give you some
design ideas. It's not doing the kind of async service request/reply
you describe yet, but will.

Another option is the zeromq/Majordomo broker, which does already
provide async request/reply.
