In out common role we have a task which creates a script from a template to 
create ssh tunnel between a certain number of hosts in the inventory. The 
template looks like this:

{% for host in ssh_tunnel %}
{% if host != inventory_hostname %}
{% if hostvars[host]['ansible_default_ipv4'] is defined %}
{% for ports in hostvars[host]['ssh_tunnel_ports'] %}
su {{tunnel_user_name}} -c "autossh -p 22 -2 -fN -M 0 -L 
{{ports.local}}:127.0.0.1:{{ports.remote}} 
{{tunnel_user_name}}@{{hostvars[host]['ansible_default_ipv4']['address']}}"
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

So the current host should be tunnelling to all hosts in the hash 
ssh_tunnel except to itself.

We've now had the scenario that from one mis-configured PC, one of the 
hosts wasn't reachable in the Ansible run which caused a warning but of 
course the rest of the playbook just went ahead - as it should do. As that 
one host wasn't reachable, the above loop excluded that host from the ssh 
tunnel script and that caused some services to crash, i.e. those who 
required that tunnel.

My question: the tunnel should not be updated if one of the hosts ins 
ssh_tunnel already had failed. How can I include that in a "when:" 
statement in the task or is there a better way of achieving that level of 
reliability?
