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:

```auto
'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:

```auto
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.

```auto
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?
