pure master/slave

I am looking at using pure master/slave for redundancy but the following
statement concerns me:

"The master broker will only respond to a client when a message exchange has
been successfully passed to the slave. For example, a commit
in a clients transaction will not complete until the master and the slave
have processed the commit."

Does this mean if the slave is down the broker wont process messages ?

Yes - this is bizarre - and what you are seeing is not by design
Could you submit a test case ?

FWIW some folks might not want a broker to process any messages if it
can't be sure that messages are being replicated to another data
centre. i.e. having a single broker own messages might be a concern.
Its kinda like having the failover option; where if a master dies, the
slave also can shut down too (as having 2 copies of each message in 2
data centres at all times might be a requirement).

It doesnt seem that this comment from the site is in the context of a
failover, only that if a master cant contact a slave, it wont process
messages.  In a cluster setup this seems quite bizarre that the system would
stop responding if the passive node was down.

Yes that is exactly right.  The master cannot take over from the slave.

I have the same question on it. When I kills slave broker, I have found that
the master broker is down as well. 
AMQ developer, would you please explain it for us. Thanks a lot.
