Which connection type are you using? If you're using the default ("smart"),
which will use SSH on most recent versions of Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu) and
Mac OSX, the ControlPersist option will leave the SSH connection open to
the target host, so the current hostname of the session will continue to be
used. As I said previously, I would recommend using set_fact so you don't
have to re-gather facts in this situation.Thanks!
