How to safely update Laravel queues without errors?

I have a system with multiple web servers behind a load balancer. I also have one or more servers for running queued jobs (each server can also have more than one queue listener). The web servers push jobs on to redis (separate server) and the workers pull the jobs.

I'm trying to find the best way to update the code (git pull) in each of these locations without the workers having failed jobs due to code changes. An example would be removing a dependency. Queued jobs would still rely on the "old" code after running git pull. Thus, the job would error out since the dependency was removed.

Does anyone have insight on updating the queue workers without causing jobs to fail?

Extending Authentication in Laravel 5.1

I have an application, similar to what hosting resellers get exept something different... this application is used on domainA.com and domainB.com. Both domains point at a single server, so both site run off single app exactly same files and single database.

When user accesses domainA.com we would see specific preferences for domainA i.e. logo and colour scheme. Same applies for domainB.com.

While both domains use single database, I want userA to be able to register on domainA and domainB with same email. When user is to try to login we would use something similar to: (taken from http://ift.tt/1Fu3ym1)

Auth::attempt(['email' => $email, 'password' => $password, 'site' => 'domainA.com'])

This is functionality that I require is needed in order to keep data separate so that if you login as an adminA that belongs to domainA.com you would see what userA did on domainA.com and adminA wouldn NOT see what userA did on domainB.com. Same applies to adminB that belongs to domainB.com, adminB wouldn't be able to see what userA did on domainA.com.

I would like to know on how overall Authentication supplied with Laravel 5 be affected if I was to update default AuthController@create method with something similar to:

    protected function create(array $data)
    {        
        return User::create([
            'name' => $data['name'],
            'email' => $data['email'],
            'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
            'site' => 'domainB.com'
        ]);
    }

I assume that password reminder can be easily updated, but because Laravel's authentication includes quite alot of built in functionality this might pose an issue unless after authentication user's identifier is used to identify user and to perform core functions

laravel 5.1 custom validation message same field name

I have in my application fields with the same name accross my models. For example I have a "firstname" field in both User Model and Teacher Model. I am using validation and specified custom validation messages in Language files (by adding language folders and validation.php files inside resources/lang). Is there a way to return different messages for same field name? For example i would like to do something like the following

'custom' => [ 
                'user.firstname' => [
                       'required' => 'message',            
                 ],
                 'teacher.firstname' => [
                       'required' => 'different message',            
                 ],
            ],
