Expected Behavior / New Feature
The consul service discovery provider should check if the node.Name could be a DNS/Host Name, otherwise return the service url.
Actual Behavior / Motivation for New Feature
The consul service provider doesn't check if the node.Name is a host name. Depending on service discovery configuration, the node.Name might not be a host name.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem
