A "no local" consumer (durable subscriptions included) doesn't receive message sent on its connection, as long as there is a connection. The moment a durable subscription's associated consumer is closed, the durable subscription ceases to have a logical association with any connection, so it's free to accept message from any producers on any connection. When a new "no local" consumer for that durable subscription is created, then that subscription must not accept messages from producers sharing the connection with the new consumer. And so on. IMHO.
