Hello everyone !

I'm digging into Ansible capabilities a bit further, and I'm looking to implement with a beautiful manner the concept of VIP.
To do so, I implemented this variable in the group_vars of my inventory:

group_vars/firstcluster :

vips:
  - name: cluster1_vip
    ip : 1.2.3.4
  - name: cluster1.othervip
    ip : 1.2.3.5

group_vars/secondcluster :

vips:
  - name: cluster2_vip
    ip : 1.2.4.4
  - name: cluster2.othervip
    ip : 1.2.4.5

and in the inventory :

[firstcluster]
node10
node11

[secondcluster]
node20
node21

My question : if I want to set up a DNS server, that gathers all the VIP and associated names (without redundancy for esthetism) , how do I proceed ? In short : is it possible to get all group variables notwithstanding the hosts underneath ?

like :

{% for group in <THEMAGICVAR> %}
{% for vip in group.vips %}
{{ vip.name }}      IN A     {{ vip.ip }}
{% end for %}
{% end for %}
