Hey Dann, I'm drawing a blank on the final piece in my puzzle here, maybe 
you can help(?). I've registered the vmware_guest_facts in a var and just 
want to iterate through it, for each hw_eth0.ipaddresses[0] ... e.g. this 
was my last (tortured) attempt:

- name: copy new file into place
  delegate_to: "{{ item.[ {{ hw_eth0.ipaddresses[0] }} ] }}"
  template: src=xxxxxxx dest=/etc/xxxxxxxxxx 
  with_nested:
      - "{{ vmware_guest_facts }}"
  become: yes

What's the best way of doing this?

Jeff
