Well, here is what I proposed a while ago: //www.freelists.org/post/nanomsg/Trying-to-implement-directory-pattern The basic idea is that worker subscribe on some subset of topics, similarly to how pub-sub works. This concept also works with devices (i.e. not only directly connected peers), and can load-balance between several workers, if they are subscribed to the same topics. It also handles failover nicely: new workers register when appear, with nothing needed to be done by user. -- Paul
