nios_host_record fails to populate on the first loop

I have a playbook that creates two network, looks up the next 2 available IP addresses from each network and then assigns the host record using the nios_host_record module via a loop off the lookup results. So in the end I should have two hosts in both new networks. My issue is that the playbook runs fine it creates the networks it assigns the IPs at least according to the ansible and the Infoblox audit log but when I look at the IPs assigned in the networks there is only one IP addresses assigned in the first network and its the second IP in the subnet but both IP address are assigned in the second network. The debug output in Ansible shows the correct IPs to assign out of the /30 and I see the created statements in the Infoblox audit log.  If I run the same playbook again the IPs are assigned correctly in both networks and I see them listed in the network as host assignments.  Its only the first time it runs that it fails to populate the first available IP in the first network. 

 

I did a search for the IP address I know should have been assigned just in case it was populated somewhere else in the database and the IP was not found. 

I running Ansible 2.10, python 3.6.12, collection infoblox.nios_modules 1.0.2 and Infoblox is running 8.4.8

Hi,

 

Could you please share the playbook you are using? That would be help debug the issue.
