 # Overbuilt myip module
 
-## What it does:
+## What it does
 
 This module polls a series of fairly well known but occasionally unreliable 'what is my ip' services. It then produces the most common response that is a valid ipv4 or ipv6 address (both outputs are separately provided).
 
-We support two providers - `curl` and `http`. `curl` is the default provider because it has better failure handling whereas `http` provider will fail a plan/apply if the endpoint doesn't respond.
+We support two providers - `curl2` and `http`. `curl2` is the default provider because it has better failure handling whereas `http` provider will fail a plan/apply if the endpoint doesn't respond.
+
+## Limitations
+
+Neither the `curl2` nor `http` providers are perfect. The `curl2` provider is slightly more reliable than the `http` provider. We should ideally check DNS prior to polling, or find a provider that won't poll unless dns resolves - or won't fail if it doesn't resolve.
