 This cookbook takes care of the installation and configuration of BIND9. At the moment you're able to define some global variables and to manage your zonefiles via data bags (json example below).
 It currently also supports automatic serial number generation and automatic resource records for chef nodes (see optional json in example below)

 It's my intention to round its edges over time. If you want to help feel free to contribute!
