Hi,

I understand how I could create a recipe that listed all of the DNS records I wanted to update using:

nsupdate 'www.example.com' do
  value 'other.host.com'
  type :cname
  ttl 86400
  action :update
end

type stanzas, but if I instead, had my list of names and values in a different data structure, say a list of some wort, can I use this LWRP in any way to produce updates or am I going to be writing my own code around nsupdate to process that list and do the updates?

I'm not sure what are you talking about? May be you want to use plain ruby to work with your data structure:

my_hash = { 'host1' => 'host2', 'host3' => 'host4' }
...
my_hash.each_pair do |h, v|
  nsupdate h do
    value v
    type :cname
    ttl 86400
    action :update
  end
end

Oh, duh! Of course. Even though I have done similar a zillion times, it must have just been too late for me last night when I was looking at this.

Thanks!
