The issue was not so much with the quoting ( I tried that as well before
posting ) but the value host_a after hostvars. Ansible was looking for the
IP address under the host heading.
Ex. {{ hostvars['x.x.x.x'][eth0] }}
Is there another way to do this? I would prefer not to put the IP or a DNS
name in the template so real values don't get checked into source code.
Thanks,
