The catalog API gives all nodes hosting a given service. As we will see later
with [health checks](/intro/getting-started/checks.html) you'll typically want
to query just for healthy instances where the checks are passing. This is what

$ curl 'http://localhost:8500/v1/health/service/web?passing'
[{"Node":"Armons-MacBook-Air","Address":"172.20.20.11","Service":{ \
"ID":"web", "Service":"web", "Tags":["rails"],"Port":80}, "Checks": ...}]
```
