It sounds like you want to treat nodes as being individually special, which best practice usually discourages. At Opscode we have runbook instructions on how to create each type of server and treat the existing ones as disposable resources.

I would check that you aren't overloading node attributes which would increase the difficulty to duplicate that node and build arcane knowledge into an existing nodes configuration.
