Kafka new producer not able to use ssh tunnel through proxychains4

Hi,

I have setup a ssh tunnel for cross dc kafka replication using mirrormaker.

The following command succeeds:
$ proxychains4 /opt/kafka/bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list
172.19.19.19:9092 --topic test

But using the new producer throws an error without producing any message:

$ proxychains4 /opt/kafka/bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list
172.19.19.19:9092 --topic test --new-producer

[2015-12-09 15:32:56,452] ERROR Error when sending message to topic test
with key: null, value: 1 bytes with error: Failed to update metadata after
60000 ms. (org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.ErrorLoggingCallback)

Someone kindly help me debug this. Is there a major change in how the new
producer makes connections?

Thanks,
Siddhartha
