+# Ansible Role for DNS Server Management
+=========
+
+Ansible playbook to install and configure a DNS server using dnsmasq on an Ubuntu server.
+
+# Requirements
+------------
+
+The role can be executed on any machine having a Debian-based OS with the below packages.
+  - Ansible 
+  - Python
+
+# Role Variables
+--------------
+
+Available variables are listed below (`ansible/dns-server/defaults/main.yml`): 
+
+*   `dns_domain`: The local domain that dnsmasq will serve. (Default: `an.example.com`)
+*   `dns_upstream_servers`: A list of upstream DNS servers to forward queries to. (Default: `['8.8.8.8', '8.8.4.4']`)
+*   `dns_static_records`: A list of dictionaries for static A records. Each dictionary should have `name` and `ip`.
+*   `dns_cname_records`: A list of dictionaries for CNAME records. Each dictionary should have `cname` and `target`.
+
+# Role tasks
+-------------
+
+The `main.yml` in the tasks directory will run the following operations:
+  - Install dnsmasq.
+  - Configure dnsmasq using a template.
+  - Create a directory for custom dnsmasq configurations.
+  - Create configuration files for static and CNAME records from templates.
+  - Ensure the dnsmasq service is started and enabled.
+
+The role also includes a handler to restart the `dnsmasq` service upon configuration changes.
+
+# Dependencies
+------------
+
+There are no external dependencies for this role. Ensure that the target server is an Ubuntu server and is accessible via SSH.
+
+# Example Playbook
+----------------
+
+To use this role, you can create a playbook like the one provided in `ansible/dns-server.yml`:
+
+    ---
+    - name: Configure DNS Server using dnsmasq
+      hosts: dns_servers
+      become: yes
+      roles:
+        - role: dns-server
+
+You can then run the playbook using the following command:
+
+    ansible-playbook ansible/dns-server.yml --extra-vars "hosts=your_host_group"
+
+You would typically define your inventory of `dns_servers` in a separate inventory file.
+
+Here is an example of how you can pass the records:
+
+    ansible-playbook ansible/dns-server.yml -i inventory --extra-vars '{
+      "dns_static_records": [
+        { "name": "host1.an.example.com", "ip": "192.168.1.10" },
+        { "name": "host2.an.example.com", "ip": "192.168.1.11" }
+      ],
+      "dns_cname_records": [
+        { "cname": "alias.an.example.com", "target": "host1.an.example.com" }
+      ]
+    }'
