I am using Beanstalkd, and I want to queue particular types of jobs to different tubes (mail to one, images to another, etc). From what I understand, I should have just one connection in my config for beanstalkd like this:

		'beanstalkd' => array(
			'driver' => 'beanstalkd',
			'host'   => 'localhost',
			'queue'  => 'default',
			'ttr'    => 120,
		),

So if I just use e.g. Mail::queue, it will go into the default queue, or I can specify a specific tube with e.g. Mail::queueOn('tube').

I want to have one listener/worker per tube (so long-running image jobs won't block small email jobs), and it introduces a bit of parallelisation which is good.

The docs say I can listen to a particular connection, but is it possible to listen to one particular queue/tube on a connection?

Anyone used queues like this before and could offer some advice?

Thanks!

Edit: Ah, my mistake. You can specify with --queue which queue to listen on, which is separate from what connection you want to use.
