In case if one member of a cluster is not available it will retry with
another one and fetch the new cluster configuration. Default timeout for
all requests to etcd is 5 seconds.
Initial cluster configuration can be resolved through:
1) /v2/members call on one of the cluster members on a client port
2) when it is possible to resolve hostname into multiple ip's it will
iterate through list and try to perform action from 1)
3) If there is discovery_srv defined in etcd section of config file it
will resolve peer addresses of all cluster members and will fetch
cluster configuration with using peer protocol by doing /members call on
a peer port
For example you can listen on 0.0.0.0 but provide service on some
didicated ip. This should cover all possible use-cases when you are
running behind firewall, load balancer or inside for example docker.
