Separating internal and external traffic

[D C <dc...@gmail.com>]

I'm sure i can do this but I'm just not stumbling on the right
documentation anywhere.  I have a handful of kafka servers that I am trying
to get ready for production. I'm trying separate the internal and external
network traffic, but I don't see how to do it.

Each host has two addresses.
10.x.y.z = default interface
192.168.x.y = private network seen only by the kafka nodes.

How can I tell kafka to make use of this?

Hi there,

You can use the `listeners` config to tell Kafka which interfaces to listen
on. The `listeners` config also supports setting the port and protocol. You
may also want to set `advertised.listeners` if the `listeners` hostnames or
IPs aren't reachable by your clients.
