Hi all
I need to trigger an action (generating a file using template) on another 
server during a play run. Naturally I used delegation. However, if I use 
variables like ansible_hostname I get the values from the *original* host. 
That's indeed what I would expect on most cases, but is there a way to use 
the "context" of the target server?

Example playbook:

- hosts: source
  tasks:
    - debug: var=ansible_hostname
      delegate_to: target

What I get:
TASK: [debug var=ansible_hostname] 
******************************************** 
ok: [localhost] => {
    "ansible_hostname": "source"
}

What I want to get:
TASK: [debug var=ansible_hostname] 
******************************************** 
ok: [localhost] => {
    "ansible_hostname": "target"
}


Thanks!
