Ansible lookup for ipv4addr not returning all entries

[#1]

When I try to fetch all IPv4 records in Infoblox using the Ansible collection as below, it returns a subset of all the IPs

- name: Fetch all host DNS records from Infoblox
  set_fact:
    all_infoblox_interfaces: "{{ lookup('nios', 'record:host_ipv4addr', provider=nios_provider) }}"

However when I try to apply a filter on this search for a specific IP (in the interface variable), I can see the record being returned. How can I modify the lookup to return all IPv4 addresses?

- name: Fetch all host DNS records from Infoblox 
   set_fact: 
      all_infoblox_interfaces: "{{ lookup('nios', 'record:host_ipv4addr', filter={'ipv4addr': interface}, provider=nios_provider)}}"

I'm not very experienced with the Ansible collection, but it seems to me that the Ansible lookup routine is designed only to look for host records, and will not return all record types.  If you're more interested in other record types, you may be better off using direct WAPI calls, or the Python infoblox-client module.

Thanks, I could accomplish the same using Python infoblox-client library

from infoblox_client import connector
conn = connector.Connector(opts)
ipv4_records = conn.get_object("record:host_ipv4addr", max_results=10000)
