Description:
We are using Consul DNS to support local DNS resolution. Ideally we would like to be able to do something like foo.service.consul and have the load balancing driver expand that into IP address 1, IP address 2, etc. based on the DNS lookup

How to repeat:
Using the consul DNS name currently it only resolves it to one host and only uses that host

Suggested fix:
when the driver is loading, it should try to resolve the DNS and if there are multiple results, use those results in place of the hostname passed in
