I'll speak to your rabbit question:

By default rabbit uses tcp port 5672 for communication.. tcp can certainly
cross subnet boundaries and be routed without issue.

  I suggest you do some network troubleshooting; ping your rabbit server
then telnet to port 5672 on the rabbit server from hosts on the other
subnets.

Check your router acls and local host firewalls.  Check to make sure that
your rabbit server has a route to get back to the other subnets with the
reply.

Dual homed hosts with one local connection and one Internet connection will
need specific routes added to allow them to reach other local subnets since
you wouldn't want that traffic to try to traverse the default route which
points out to the Internet.  This is true even if you are using virtual
interfaces with vlans instead of separate physical interfaces.

Regards,
Brent
