NServiceBus worker endpoints

Im currently evaluation the distributor in NSB and noticed that when i run the distributor and a couple of workers on my own machine, then the queue name for each worker is appended with a Guid.

According to Udi, the master himself :), in this post: Distributor and worker end point queue in same machine

The reason is that NSB assumes you are running in a test setup.

Question:

But what happens if I run 4 workers on 1 seperate machine? Will the queue names on that machine again be appended with a Guid OR are the workers capable of sharing the same queue just because the distributor is on a remote machine?

The question is important as I did expect to have multiple workers on 1 remote machine and generating new queue names every time the machine is booted is not a good idea for maintenance purposes.

Kind regards

Why would you want to do that?

Each worker can be configured to run multiple worker threads. This is why it doesn't make sense to run multiple workers on a single machine ...

I would increase the number of threads a single worker is using until the max throughput is reached on that machine. Then, scale out to another machine ... so, one worker per box, multiple threads per worker

See here for details on NumberOfWorkerThreads configuration
