Hi Michael,

You should read the following document (it is a book really) that will have
answers to most of your questions above.
http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all

After you invest that time, then it would make sense to ask
pointed/specific questions for items that were not clear from the link
above.

You may think this is too much investment, but believe me I learned so much
from reading it.
I believe it will also help you in your learning of software architectural
patterns and in your professional career if you do read it.

Cheers,
Osiris
