Why not structure your data like this:
---
- hosts: all
vars:
provider:
password: Password
server: IP
user: username
validate_certs: no
server_port: port
mapping: # This is new and might be stored elsewhere :)
server1.example.com: 192.0.2.1
server2.example.com: 192.0.2.2
server3.example.com: 192.0.2.3
tasks:
- name: Create a pool
bigip_pool:
provider: "{{ provider }}"
lb_method: ratio-member
name: "{{ service }}"
slow_ramp_time: 120
delegate_to: localhost
- name: Add members to pool
bigip_pool_member:
provider: "{{ provider }}"
description: "webserver {{ item.key }}"
host: "{{ item.value }}"
name: "{{ item.key }}"
pool: "{{ service }}"
port: "{{ lbport }}"
loop:"{{ mapping|flatten() }}"
