Network of Brokers - ActiveMQ - Any other alternatives?

We are setting up a pool/Network of ActiveMQ brokers. The issue we are having is that every broker instance should know who else is on the networ开发者_JS百科k. i.e we need to update the configuration(uri) xml when a new broker gets added to the pool and then release all the brokers. This is a time consuming process and seems like a over kill.

Is there a better approach? We thought of dynamic discovery, which needs multicast (not sure, whether it is supported)

Is there one place where we can update who is in the network, rather than in every broker instance?

Any help will be appreciated.

Network of Brokers with dynamic discovery using multicast is a standard example, please see the network of brokers docs.

Also, dynamic rebalancing and updating of clients is supported (AMQ version >= 5.4) (updateClusterClients, rebalanceClusterClients), please refer to failover docs.
