Do you have a firewall in operation? If so you may need to open port 
5672. (You can try telnetting on that port to test whether the 
connection can be established).

There is the QMan management console.

Those are different strategies for routing messages. You may want to 
have a look at the AMQP spec (qpidd supports the latest, i.e. 0-10):

That is supported (you have to do any compression of the data yourself 
though). Have a look at the direct example for an introduction of how to 
do that (the same example is available for JMS and python should that be 
relevant).
