No, I mean ZeroMQ takes care of the underlying queue for free (there is an underlying set of queues, which can be persisted if necessary)

No, it doesn't, although it might be possible to sort of emulate it by setting ZMQ_HWM to 1 and enabling ZMQ_SWAP, but I wouldn't bet on it.

The best you can hope is to use the Titanic Service Protocol and just throw data into some sort of disk store. I've looked into doing this, but I settled on using RabbitMQ instead for persistence. Unless you're dealing with more than 10k messages a second, it's just as easy as ZeroMQ.

After a few months of experimenting, I've come to the conclusion that some combination of ZeroMQ and RabbitMQ is likely the easiest solution currently for a combination of low-overhead distributed messaging and broker-assisted persistent messaging.

That must be a very recent development for 0mq then, do you have any source for this new feature?
Are you thinking of RabbigMQ perhaps?
