Description

If any of the servers specified in bootstrap.servers are not resolvable through DNS the configuration is taken as an error, and the client won't start up. We pass in 30 possible servers, and one had an issue so the client wouldn't start.

It would be better if the client will attempt to start if there is at least one server available from DNS.
