It seems the answer may lie on the broker and zookeeper sides. Can these guys listen on 2 ports, simultaneously? I believe you can listen on a filtered ip:port, so they could go to 2 NICs on those boxes and then have different props for the producer and consumers to use the different local NICs, by making sure the routing table is setup correctly.
