I'm new to Ansible and want use it to configure a NTP service. here is my 
situation:

my hosts file:
    
    [ntp_servers]
    s1.aaa.com
    s2.aaa.com
    s3.aaa.com
    s4.aaa.com

The "/taskts/mail.yaml"  for role "ntp_server":

   - name: install ntp
     apt: name=ntp state=present
   - name: config ntpd
     template: src=ntp.conf dest=/etc/ntp.conf

The "templates/ntp.conf" for role "ntp_server":
   
    ...
    restrict {{ ntp_net }} mask {{ ntp_netmask }} nomodify notrap
    {% for svr in servers %}
    peer svr
    {% endfor %}
    ...

My questions are about for loop in the template file (please leave along 
the NTP specific things): 


   1. How to refer the hosts defined in the hosts file from within the 
   template file? In another words, I need the value of "servers" variable in 
   the for loop to be a list of "s1.aaa.com", "s2.aaa.com" ... 
   2. How to know the current host so that the for loop could exclude it(it 
   should not be peer to itself) ?


Thanks and Regards
John
