The next configuration shows a variation of the server-requestor application with two Brokers joined in a territory, a configuration where multiple Brokers share information.

The requestor application connects to the primary Broker, in the Western region; however, there is a second server connected to a Broker in the Eastern region. Requests for information for customers in the Eastern region are routed via a message selector to the Broke server servicing that region.

For this type of configuration to work with the sample application, you would need to create a more realistic database setup than the in-memory database used in the chapter example. You would need databases for both the Eastern and Western regions, and the databases would share the same schemas.
