SvG> That is certainly possible: SvG> http://docs.ansible.com/developing_inventory.html#script-conventions Oooh, that is super, and after modifying our custom dynamic inventory script, it works great. Thanks! One best-practices type question about this: A side effect of the change to our script is that before, for each group, we were iterating over the hosts in that group, and turning the variables associated with the group into hostvars for the hosts; now, putting the variables into the groups section, those variables don't show up as hostvars any more. We could, of course, *also* put them into hostvars, but my intuition is that this would be less correct: That if a variable is set as a group variable, you wouldn't expect to see it in hostvars.
