        pool_lb_method: round-robin
        name: "*.apps.reese.com"
        type: a
        pools:
          - name: maint-tst.wwt.com_443_pool
        provider:
          server: prdgtm-device.mycompany.com
          user: admin
          password: password
          validate_certs: false
      delegate_to: localhost
