Prevent a server from enqueuing recurring jobs from queues it doesn't process

Hi everyone,

I have a Hangfire setup with a shared database and multiple Hangfire servers, each responsible for processing a specific queue only.

For example:

'Server1 configuration 
Dim options1 = New BackgroundJobServerOptions With {.Queues = New String() {"13661"}, .WorkerCount = 1 }  

'Server2 configuration 
Dim options2 = New BackgroundJobServerOptions With {     .Queues = New String() {"8882"}, .WorkerCount = 1 }

Each recurring job is also assigned to a specific queue when created. For exemple:

RecurringJob.AddOrUpdate(
    "13661_MainCompany_z202508051909374380083942",
    Sub() JobFactory.processJob(13661, "MainCompany", "Job 1", "z202508051909374380083942"),
    "*/10 * * * *",
    TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById(timezone),
    "13661"
)

In the Hangfire database, each recurring job has a Queue field set correctly.

Key: recurring-job:13661_MainCompany_z202508051909374380083942
Queue: 13661

Key: recurring-job:8882_Main_z202508061925402630090307
Queue: 8882

When Server2 is offline, Server1 still enqueues jobs for the recurring job assigned to queue “8882”, even though Server1 is only configured to process queue "13661".

I want each Hangfire server to only trigger (enqueue) recurring jobs that belong to the queue it handles. In other words, if a server doesn’t handle queue "8882", it should not even create jobs for that queue.

Is there a way to configure this behavior in Hangfire?
