+# this is an example of how we can perform actions on a given host on behalf of all the hosts
+# in a play.  
+#
+# The two main uses of this would be signalling an outage window for hosts that
+# we are going to start upgrading, or to take a machine out of rotation by talking to a load
+# balancer.   
+#
+# This example cheats by replacing the load balancer script with the 'echo' command,
+# leaving actual communication with the load balancer as an exercise to the reader.  In reality,
+# you could call anything you want, the main thing is that it should do something with 
+# $inventory_hostname
+
+# NOTE: see batch_size_control.yml for an example of the 'serial' keyword, which you almost certainly
+# want to use in this kind of example.  Here we have a mocked up example that does something to
+# 5 hosts at a time
