dig lookup multiple hosts

[rjwagn...@gmail.com]

Hey all - I'm trying to lookup the IPs for a list of FQDNs.  The dig lookup is close to what I need, but it appears to return a list of IPs for a single FQDN; when using with_items, it yields each of the IPs for that FQDN (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/plugins/lookup/dig.html).  Any idea how I can use with_items to iterate over the list of FQDNs and store the resulting list of IPs?

Something sort of like:

---
- hosts: all
  vars:
    db_hosts=['host1.example.com', 'host2.example.com']
  tasks:
    - debug: msg='IP is {{ item }}'
      with_items: "{{ lookup('dig', 'BLAH', wantlist=False) }}"

but what to put in for BLAH if I want to get the IPs for the list given by db_hosts?

I'm might misunderstand you question, but if you turn it around I think get your answer

- debug: msg='IP for {{ item }} is {{ lookup('dig', item) }}'
with_items: "{{ db_hosts }}"

Thanks Kai. That worked. I think I don’t quite understand lookup plugins (aside from with_items). I’ll keep researching.
