I am looking for a way to have a synchronised req/rep to a broker, and a series workers that could handle requests. The fundamental problem with this method is that I can't track the request at the frontend to guarantee that the reply arrives at the right socket.Why not have a central device to dispatch the request? I.e. each client has a REQ socket, each worker has a REP socket and there's a device in the middle everyone connects to.
I think my problem is that I don't know how to do the connection tracking within the dispatcher.
When receiving req_1, sending req_1 to the worker as req_1', receiving the reply of req1', and replying to req1 the operation is synchronous. req_1..n will wait until the req_{n-1} is handled otherwise I cannot guarantee the reply to the right socket... or can I?
