[zeromq-dev] multiple REQ-REP sockets, polling responses

[Andriy Drozdyuk]

Take a look at dealer and router (read it over a few times until you
understand what each one does - router is rather tricky):
http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all#advanced-request-reply

Also I find this cheat sheet on legal combinations useful (you probably
want dealer-router):
http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all#Request-Reply-Combinations

I suggest you write examples of each combination and try to break them
(e.g. can you send a message from router to dealer?)
