Using YAML anchors in host_vars that are defined in group_vars

Hello,

I’m trying to create some snippets of configuration data that is to be shared between two servers so that various different tunnel configs can be kept in one place. So, I was hoping to have something like the following defined in group_vars/all

YAML anchors and aliases, must exist in the same file, they cannot span multiple files, as the ref/deref happens on per file parsing.
