You should check out the use docs on the execution model: http://docs.fabfile.org/0.9.2/usage/execution.html Specifically the bit on how connections are set up: http://docs.fabfile.org/0.9.2/usage/execution.html#connections The gist is that right now, the decorators only apply to "top level" tasks as invoked via the command line -- subroutines are 100% literal Python function calls and can't be detected or otherwise modified by the main execution loop. You can get the desired behavior by ensuring that env.host_string is updated for your subroutines as desired, something along the lines of "for host in [list, of, host, strings]: with settings(host_string=host): subroutine()". (You can of course also do something like "for host in env.roledefs['rolename']:".) In future versions we'll have a helper for this, and eventually the exec model will get more fleshed out in general.
