title: RabbitMQ - Clustering & Client Connections
body: <p>Hoping someone might be able to give me some guidance on this. I have setup a RabbitMQ cluster on 3 nodes.
  - Node1 (Master), Node2 and Node3</p>
  
  <p>The part I can't figure out is I cannot find any information about what happens if Master goes down, what is the client pointing to?</p>
  
  <p>If Node1 goes down, then surely the clients which are configured to point to Node1 will not be able to automatically fail-over to whatever becomes the new master?</p>
  
  <p>My idea was to setup a load balancer which detects which node is master and only ever redirects requests to that node?</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts or ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks :)</p>
