[chef] search and order of results

[Joshua Miller < >]

Search order is inconsistent, is there a way to deal with it?  I really would 
not care except every time chef runs it restarts perbal which is a issue.

Thank you,

Joshua



In my recipe: 
 
 search(:node, "role:WEBSERVER_ROLE") do |n|
    WEBSERVER_ROLE_host << n['ipaddress']
  end

  search(:node, "role:APACHE_ROLE") do |n|
    APACHE_ROLE_host << n['ipaddress']
  end


  template "/etc/perlbal/perlbal.conf" do
    source "perlbal.conf.erb"
    mode 0440
    owner "root"
    group "root"
    variables(
      :WEBSERVER_ROLE_host => WEBSERVER_ROLE_host,
      :APACHE_ROLE_host => APACHE_ROLE_host
    )
    backup 1
    notifies :restart, resources(:service => "perlbal")
  end


My Template:

CREATE POOL app_pool
<% @WEBSERVER_ROLE_host.each do |n| -%>
  POOL app_pool ADD <%= n %>:80
<% end -%>

CREATE POOL media_pool
<% @APACHE_ROLE_host.each do |n| -%>
  POOL media_pool ADD <%= n %>:80
<% end -%>
