> This feature allows addresses to be configured such that an alternate destination can be used to receive messages that are not deliverable to any normal consumers on the address.
> Typically, this feature will be used to allow a message broker to store messages that are not routable directly to consumers.  When one or more consumers are attached in the router network, messages shall be delivered directly to the consumers.  Where there are no reachable consumers, deliveries shall then be diverted to the alternate destination.  Once consumers re-connect to the network, messages shall again be delivered directly.
> When a consumer comes online after messages have been stored in a broker, it shall receive the stored messages interleaved with new messages from producers.  No attempt shall be made by the router network to preserve the original delivery order of the messages.
> This feature can be configured by adding the attribute
> {noformat}
>     alternate: yes
> {noformat}
> to an address configuration. This attribute tells the router that any address matching the configuration that appears shall support the alternate destination capability.
> There are two ways to create an alternate destination for an address:
> Using auto-links:
> An auto-link (or a pair of auto-links) can be configured to create an alternate waypoint for an address. For example, assume that there is a route-container connector or listener for a broker called "alternate-broker".
> {noformat}
> address {
>     prefix: position_update
>     alternate: yes
> }
> autoLink {
>     address: position_update.338
>     direction: in
>     connection: alternate-broker
>     alternate: yes
> }
> autoLink {
>     address: position_update.338
>     direction: out
>     connection: alternate-broker
>     alternate: yes
> }
> {noformat}
> The above configuration will use a queue on the broker called "position_update.338" as the alternate destination for direct consumers. Furthermore, since there are both _in_ and _out_ auto-links, the router(s) shall send queued messages to newly attached direct consumers.
> Using terminus capabilities:
> As an alternative to using auto-links, the broker (or any other process) can attach sending and receiving links to the address with terminus-capability "qd.alternate". This will create the same behavior as the above example.
