 certificate, verifies the server certificate, and manages background
 goroutines for updating our certificates as necessary.
 
--> **Important:** The HTTP client _requires_ the hostname is a Consul
-DNS name. Static IP addresses and external DNS cannot be used with the
-HTTP client. For these values, please use `svc.Dial` directly.
-
 If the application already uses a manually constructed `*http.Client`,
 the `svc.HTTPDialTLS` function can be used to configure the
 `http.Transport.DialTLS` field to achieve equivalent behavior.
 
+### Hostname Requirements
+
+The hostname used in the request URL is used to identify the logical service
+discovery mechanism for the target. **It's not actually resolved via DNS** but
+used as a logical identifier for a Consul service discovery mechanism. It has
+the following specific limitations:
+
+ * The scheme must be `https://`.
+ * It must be a Consul DNS name in one of the following forms:
+   * `<name>.service[.<datacenter>].consul` to discover a healthy service
+     instance for a given service.
+   * `<name>.query[.<datacenter>].consul` to discover an instance via
+     [Prepared Query](/api/query.html).
+ * The top-level domain _must_ be `.consul` even if your cluster has a custom
+   `domain` configured for it's DNS interface. This might be relaxed in the
+   future.
+ * Tag filters for services are not currently supported (i.e.
+   `tag1.web.service.consul`) however the same behaviour can be achieved using a
+   prepared query.
+ * External DNS names, raw IP addresses and so on will cause an error and should
+   be fetched using a separate `HTTPClient`.
+
+
 ## Raw TLS Connection
 
 For a raw `net.Conn` TLS connection, the `svc.Dial` function can be used.
