I want to route a client to a different kafka nodes.

  • clients connect to indiivdual brokers, anyway, so not seeing how this would help... What issues are you running into, though? – OneCricketeer Nov 30 '20 at 15:44
  • want to add kafka in DNs server and for that we need a vip address – NoamiA Dec 01 '20 at 07:55
  • It's possible, yes. We [use ELB addresses](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38666795/does-kafka-support-elb-in-front-of-broker-cluster) where I work. But again, individual broker addresses are _eventually_ going to be returned directly to the client – OneCricketeer Dec 01 '20 at 16:39
  • Yes, we use a VIP for bootstrap but it's a fundamental property of Kafka that after initial bootstrap, all clients (producer and consumer) talk directly to the individual brokers which are topic/partition leaders – Chris Dec 03 '20 at 22:21
