Hello,  
I have a question about the swarm environment in Rancher : What kind of service discovery to you use instead of consul ?  
Because, in the swarm documentation of docker ([docs.docker.com](http://docs.docker.com)), swarm rely on consul (or etcd or zookeeper) to maintain all the nodes configuration. How do this work in Rancher?

Thank you
