Hello,
How do I perform name-to-IP lookups form within ansible YAML? Or even better, a Jinja template?
Thanks.
Using the ‘pipe’ lookup you can use the output of a command, e.g. " dig +short my.dns.name "
Apologies for double post. Didn’t realize forum was moderated for first posters.

Charles' question, and Serge's response prompted me to finally get
something done about this. Test at your own risk. [1]

nice!
nice!
Submitted as PR #10311 https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/10311
IMO, dnstxt.py should be removed, and the docs updated to say
Users of the previously-available `dnstxt` lookup-plugin should
migrate to `dig` by changing
lookup('dnstxt', 'example.com')
to
lookup('dig', 'example.com/TXT')
I hope that helps.
