Is the departure process of an infinite server queue independent of the arrival process?

Assume we have a $M/M/\infty$ queue with arrival rate $\lambda$ and a service rate $\mu$. From Burke's theorem, the departure process of the queue is a Poisson process with rate $\lambda$.

However, what is the relationship between the arrival and departure processes? Are they independent? If not, is it possible to characterize their relationship?
