Consider the following:
- name: Change sshd_config settings
  lineinfile:
    path: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    regexp: "{{ item.regexp }}"
    line: "{{ item.line }}"
  with_items:
    - {regexp: "^#.*ClientAliveInterval.*$", line: "ClientAliveInterval 
1800"}
    - {regexp: "^#.*ClientAliveCountMax.*$", line: "ClientAliveCountMax 0"}
  notify:
    - restart ssh

If I run this against a server multiple times, it will append the lines to 
the bottom of the file (even if present).  According to the docs the line 
will only be applied if the regexp is found.  I must be missing something.  
Any ideas?  If the regexp isn't found, I do want them appended to the file, 
but in this case I am getting duplicate entries.

sshd_config sample:
...
#PermitUserEnvironment no
#Compression delayed
ClientAliveInterval 1800
ClientAliveCountMax 0
...
# X11Forwarding no
# AllowTcpForwarding no
# PermitTTY no
# ForceCommand cvs server
ClientAliveInterval 1800
ClientAliveCountMax 0
ClientAliveInterval 1800
ClientAliveCountMax 0
ClientAliveInterval 1800
ClientAliveCountMax 0
