Hi,

When I use the route53 module to create DNS records for multiple hosts, I sometimes get this error:

“The request was rejected because Route 53 was still processing a prior request.”

It would be useful if this error could be caught and the request retried.

Regards,  
Joost

There is a github issue open for this actually ([https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/4085](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/4085)). I’ll try and get that looked at this week for sure.

Thanks!

Hi James,

Did you have a chance to look at the Route53 problem? I could also take a stab at it if you are too busy.

Feel free to take a stab at it, if you like, and my apologies for taking a while to get to it. We’ve definitely had a major uptick in submissions via github, and it’s taking us awhile to work through everything. It’s a good problem to have though 🙂
