+        <strong>Note</strong>: In contrast to other drivers, the ESX driver is
+        a client-side-only driver. That means you cannot use the
+        <a href="remote.html">remote transport mechanism</a> provided by the
+        remote driver and libvirtd. Instead the ESX driver communicates to the
+        ESX server using HTTP(S). Therefore, you cannot use URIs like
+        <code>esx+ssh://example.com</code>.
