Greetings,

I trying to understand if my setup is correct or not given the subject 
matter.

When I run a playbook on a particular host and a host_vars file for another 
host has a syntactical error the playbook execution fails because of the 
broken host_vars file.

Here is my inventory file layout

docker11_s ansible_host=172.28.5.12 ansible_ssh_user=ipasupport

The playbooks are executing using the host names only. The playbooks all 
start with 

- hosts: dockerengines

Is this behavior normal or am I causing this by how my inventory/playbooks 
are defined?
