Attributes

List of forwarders where requests should be forwarded to.

default['bind']['forward'] = Array.new


List of servers where zone updates should be transferred to.
ruby
default['bind']['transfer'] = Array.new


Usage

Most complex setup:
```ruby
bind9_easy_zone "example.com" do
email "hostmaster.example.com" #convert your emailaddress-@ into a .
nameserver nses
hosts ({
"@" => "192.168.178.10",
"not-a-chef-client" => "192.168.178.250", #results in a A record
"my-hot-box" => "not-a-chef-client" #results in a CNAME record
})
mailserver "mail.example.com"
xmpp "xmpp.example.com"
end

node.set['bind']['transfer'] = ["192.168.178.1","192.168.178.2"]
node.set['bind']['forward'] = ["172.0.0.1", "4.2.2.4"]

include_recipe "bind9"
```

Make sure to set up all zones, before calling the recipe.
Recipe writes named.conf.local and makes zones known to bind.

See resources/zone.rb for more zone-file attributes for bind9_easy_zone
