Take a look at mod_log_spread? [0]
This uses multicast to avoid many tcp connections, and also to allow for

Not certain about the reliability aspect, but the Spread site[1] 
mentions "a range of reliability, ordering and stability guarantees for 
messages".

I have never used this myself, of course ;-)
