[chef] Using Chef to add new Nodes to an nginx LB

[zuhaib siddique < >]

Hey All,

So for a while now we have been using Amazon ELB as our LB for our server and we have an internal cookbook that adds new nodes to a particular ELB using fog.  Well now it seems due to some requirement changes we might need to move away from ELB to nginx.  Now one of the things that is bugging me is a dynaimc way of adding new nodes to nginx.  I have in the past setup simple round robin load balancers with nginx but we would like an way to make sure everytime we deploy a server its automatically added to the nginx LB and before I go out and reinvent the wheel I am wondering if anyone else has done this or at lest has something that can point me in the right directions so I can write my own.

Thanks

Zuhaib
