I have a group of consumer servers subscribed to a channel. When producer server publish a message, I'd like one and only one consumer server get the message.

I need this because the consumer servers are actually load balanced. This feature is important in a scalable network.

I suggest to have a group identity when consumer server subscribe the channel, so only one server get the notification in one group. But not necessary to be the best way.

Thanks
