Thanks, Todd. I already tried that, and it fails:

[WARNING]: Invalid characters were found in group names but not replaced, 
use -vvvv to see
details
[WARNING]: Found both group and host with same name: uoj
ERROR! We were unable to read either as JSON nor YAML, these are the errors 
we got from each:
JSON: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Syntax Error while loading YAML.
  mapping values are not allowed in this context

The error appears to be in '/etc/ansible/playbooks/updatedns.yml': line 8, 
column 16, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

- name: Add to file
     lineinfile: dest=/somedir/somefile insertafter=EOF line='_some-name    
                             TXT     "aZJACEhonRJiOCL1ZtkKMKnx7U 4m5j  
bSswyClGb6wGk"'
               ^ here
