+ # Fact: ipaddress
+ #
+-# Purpose: Return the main IP address for a host.
++# To avoid potential timeouts with this fact, just return 127.0.0.1 always
+ #
+-# Resolution:
+-# On the Unixes does an ifconfig, and returns the first non 127.0.0.0/8
+-# subnetted IP it finds.
+-# On Windows, it attempts to use the socket library and resolve the machine's
+-# hostname via DNS.
+-#
+-# On LDAP based hosts it tries to use either the win32/resolv library to
+-# resolve the hostname to an IP address, or on Unix, it uses the resolv
+-# library.
+-#
+-# As a fall back for undefined systems, it tries to run the "host" command to
+-# resolve the machine's hostname using the system DNS.
+-#
+-# Caveats:
+-# DNS resolution relies on working DNS infrastructure and resolvers on the
+-# host system.
+-# The ifconfig parsing purely takes the first IP address it finds without any
+-# checking this is a useful IP address.
