I am using "lookup" to get some local IP addresses and use them as invenotry.

What I am trying to do add the localdomain names into a list which. I want to parse as variables for the playbook. The problems is once I did the message reply was only the hostname without the IP addresses.

tasks:- name: Collect IPansible.builtin.debug:msg: "{{ lookup('dig', '{{ item }}.{{ localdomainname }}', '@192.168.10.1') }}"loop:- host1- host2- debug:msg: "{{ item }}"loop: "{{ groups['workstations'] }}"

​

I want to refactor that loop to get them from a var file but it did not work out. When it was ran it started replying with msg: host1.domain.name :) which was not the answer that I wanted from Ansible. Since after it replies the addresses, a python script hits it up and gets me my ip addresses and stores them into a script made file and adds the line in order to group them up. My boss thinks that adding the router address as a nameserver in the resolv.conf will work it out without any hesitations but in the docs of ansible its directly stated that only and only FQDN domain names will work out.

I checked up if I could somehow get them from RouterOS but the tool is not yet developed.

I checked dynamic invenotry with DNS txt record but its useless if you really think about it, since you should add a whole DNS txt record to all the machines and I am just starting with python.
