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.

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

My Template:

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

You could do something like WEBSERVER_ROLE_host.sort.each in the template to ensure that the array is sorted before you iterate over it.
