Using ActiveMQ > Configuring Transports > ZeroConf Transport Reference
The ZeroConf transport works just like Discovery Transport, except that it uses a ZeroConf based discovery agent to locate the list of broker uris to connect to.
zeroconf:serviceName?transportOptions
or
zeroconf:serviceName
where serviceName is the Zeroconf service name; which seems to start with an underscore (_) and must end with a dot (.). So we can use this service name to distinguish development, UAT & production brokers - or group them into domains etc.
Note that to be able to use ZeroConf to find brokers, the brokers need to have Discovery enabled. To configure discovery in a Broker you should use the Xml Configuration. Its basically something like...
<broker name="foo">
<transportConnectors>
<transportConnector name="openwire" uri="tcp://0.0.0.0:61616" discoveryUri="zeroconf:_activemq_development. />
</transportConnectors>
...
</broker>
zeroconf:_activemq_development.
