Hi Adam,

actually it was just me being tired and screwing up, but I finally  
wrangled it.

all_vhosts do |name, info|
  template "#{node[:affnginx][:dir]}/sites-available/#{name}.conf" do
    source "default-site.erb"
    owner "root"
    group "root"
    backup false
    mode 0644
    variables(
      :name => name,
      :ipaddress => info[:ipaddress],
      :networkid => info[:networkid]
    )
  end
end

Works just fine, and as far as my limited testing (it's pulling in 5  
vhosts via attributes) just fine.  I may find a great use for  
libraries now with nginx and apache and will find a way to enjoy this  
ability greatly.

Scott

(mainly the error was in the variables the lack of : in :name  
initially which threw me off and confused me... tunnel vision is a  
great thing sometimes, and fun to break out of)
