I was very excited when I saw NSQ. I thought it would solve my problem splendidly. It seemed, from my reading of the docs, that it did not support multicast however. :(

I was very impressed with it, though. You guys did an awesome job, and I'm extremely flattered you stopped by to comment.

It's a bit more explicit in NSQ but we essentially support multicast-like routing through "channels".

A "channel" receives a copy (at the source) of all the messages for a "topic" and has its own set of clients subscribed.

Hm. Very interesting, I'll have to take another look and get a better understanding of it.
