a part will be devoted to the description of the numerous architectures 
available for both the client and the server side, some are using agents 
(joram), peer to peer (openjms), some provide qos, filtering (open jms) some 
provide several protocols, interresting call back mechanism (XmlBlaster) ... 
this list is not limitative and may include other features ...

the result is obvious : every mom is unique.
I just want to provide the reader with an overview of the existing solutions,
architectures

Yep, I ve understood the philosophy of XmlBlaster that way.

What I was speaking is the possiblity to run several instances of XmlBlaster,
one per physical node, so that the load is distributed. Since the documentation
speaks only of 'the xmlblaster' or 'the engine', it was not clear for me if
it was possible

Of course it does ! Thanks for these valuable information
