If you want to reference a previous variable, it's going to have to be
a scalar, and you have to do something like this:
whitelisted_ips: [ "{{dave}}", "{{malcolm}}" ...
The way I've been doing things like this is setting up a dict for the
environment or group like this:
whitelisted_ips:
dave:
- 1.1.1.1
- 2.2.2.2
malcolm:
- 4.4.4.4
edna:
- 5.5.5.5
And then calling roles like this:
- role: iptables
I like it because if you want to know what the settings are for a
group, you look at the group vars, or the environment, the environment
vars, instead of having it in the playbook, which is sort of the wrong
layer. I also have separate dicts for administrative concerns-
everything in the environment is going to be the same, there- and
services, where each group is liable to be different.
