You could be right Ewen. I was starting to wonder about the load balancer too. Is using a load balancer a bad idea? How else do users know which kafka broker to connect to?
I'm using one of the IPs directly and I don't see that error. I am seeing an occasional connection refused. What the heck. Maybe this is another aws specific thing. OR, I am running kafka brokers in a docker container. I think I will remove the docker component and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for the reply. <bow>
