Hi Himanshu, Short answer: yes.
The way a Kafka client works is to connect to one of the given bootstrap brokers and ask it about the rest of the cluster. The client then connects to those brokers as necessary. So in general a client will need to connect to all brokers in the cluster and therefore the broker IPs need to be routable from the client.
