Two network connectos forwarding to same set of brokers

[Eugene Brian Ong <lo...@gmail.com>]

We would like to have an HA solution for non durable topics without needing
to share stores so we came up with network of brokers. Is it allowed for
two "producer" brokers to forward messages to the same set of "consumer"
brokers? The network connectors will not be duplex.

Illustration:
Mq producer 1 create non-duplex network connector to mq consumer 1 and 2.
Mq producer 2 create non-duplex network connector to same mq consumers.

Our current setup is MQ producers are in duplex network connectors to each
other then MQ consumer 1 has a duplex network connector to both producers
and MQ consumer 2 also has duplex network connector to both producers. From
what I read, this is bad because the messages can take a longer path. It
this true? Is the solution above better?

Thanks
