question about the rep-router-rep #540

Description

I got a demo about Load Balancing Broker which use zhelpers, but I rebuild it with cppzmq. this demo can be runing and the broker can receive the msg from worker and client. And the question is that the worker and client can not receive the msg from broker. I guess the the problem is about the router id.
