Load balancing for performance?  OpenAMQ is generally considered fast
enough that this is not needed.  Mostly, performance worries are not
in the broker, but in applications that process transactions.  You can
get load balancing with these by using shared queues.

How many messages per second are you processing?  Can you provide some
more details on what your applications are doing?

OpenAMQ provides clustering for failover - to a backup server - and
"federation" for load-balancing, but usually you will only need that
if you are distributing very large amounts of data.
