Hi everybody

I’m looking for a way to deploy different DNS host config following the hosts group of Windows Servers  
The main goal is to load balance in fault of true proxy DNS.

For exemple:

[HOST GROUP1]

Winserver1  
Winserver2  
Winserver3

[HOST GROUP2]

Winserver4  
Winserver5  
Winserver6

[HOST GROUP3]

Winserver7  
Winserver8  
Winserver9

HOST GROUP 1 = \> DNS: 192.168.10.10,192.168.10.11,192.168.10.12

HOST GROUP 2 = \> DNS: 192.168.10.11,192.168.10.12,192.168.10.10

HOST GROUP 3 = \> DNS: 192.168.10.12,192.168.10.10,192.168.10.11

Thank you for your help

Happy new year

Georges

Hi mike,

Yes exactly like this.

Same question for 400 Linux servers.  
I wan’t to have 4 groups with each group have différent DNS config.  
Is there way to do this only using ansible yml and no scripting bash ?

Thanks
