Hi Jeroen, this sounds like a bug in Flink that we return sometimes IP addresses instead of hostnames. Could you tell me which Flink version you are using? In the current version, the redirect address and the address retrieved from ZooKeeper should actually be the same.
In the future, we plan to remove the redirect message and simply forward the request to the current leader. This should hopefully avoid these kind of problems.
