 ## Changing sysctl variables
-
-If you want to overwrite sysctl-variables, you have to overwrite the *whole* dict, or else only the single overwritten will be actually used.
-So for example if you want to change the IPv4 traffic forwarding variable to `1`, you must pass the whole dict like this:
++If you want to overwrite sysctl-variables, you can use the `sysctl_overwrite` variable (in older versions you had to overwrite the whole `sysctl_dict`).

 Alternatively you can change Ansible's [hash-behaviour](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_configuration.html#hash-behaviour) to `merge`, then you only have to overwrite the single hash you need to. But please be aware that changing the hash-behaviour changes it for all your playbooks and is not recommended by Ansible.
