I'm not sure how this worked originally, but when testing it I found that the KafkaConsumer will connect to the bootstrap server (localhost) correctly with the AMORE_BROKER variable set, but it will then try to connect to exflwebstor01.desy.de and hang. I'm guessing that when it connects to the bootstrap server it gets a list of all brokers and then tries to connect to them; and since it sees localhost and exflwebstor01.desy.de as different brokers it'll try to connect to exflwebstor01.desy.de too.
