[chef] Re: Re: Single Chef client for configuring multiple nodes

I did do some work on a proxy like this a while back, but I no longer work where it was intended  It used the same client to represent many nodes. Brokered data into faux nodes from snmp endpoints. Still think it would be a worthwhile tool for the community to have.

Works great! I've never found a use for it; we always thought people
might create a client that was responsible for multiple virtual nodes,
e.g. switches that weren't running Chef or something along those
lines.
