Multicast forwarding is different from load-balancing or redistribution. If a remote binding is created for an address, messages should be forwarded to matching topic consumers attached to other nodes in the cluster, even if the message-load-balancing policy is set to OFF in the cluster connection. This behavior was incorrect in versions prior to AMQ 7.11, but has been fixed by https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-4196.

This task would add QE testing for this configuration to ensure that messages are properly forwarded to topic subscribers, even when load-balancing and redistribution are disabled in the cluster.
