Many thanks for the feedback.
Structure and Data can vary (depending on functionality - in this case ipv4 vs.
ipv6).
I was only doing one thing wrong in my code (one level of indirection too much)
The following solution works:
:addressrange => Hash[vnet.xpath('./AR_POOL/AR/AR_ID').collect { |ar|
[ar.text, Hash[ar.xpath('../*').collect { |singlear| [singlear.name.downcase,
singlear.text.downcase] } ] ] } ]
I know receive all data as nested hash in the address range attribute.
Best,
Martin
