[chef] best practice for setting up node configuration

["O. T. Suarez" < >]

Hi,
I want to define a configuration (group of attributes like ServerAlias
for a vhost using the cname instead of the fqdn) for nodes.
I could create a databag and a custom cookbook, but i was wondering if
there is best practice for handling this cases. This is kind of
storing individual data for nodes which might fall out of the
cookbooks/recipes purposes some one might say, i know ;)
Littlechef [1] does something like this already but I'm looking for a
solution working with a Chef Server,.
Any ideas regarding how to handle this scenario?
Regards,
Osvaldo
