you can create a common read only chefclient across all your chef servers and use it as part of the chef run (wrapped in an lwrp or library) to gather this information.

We have a situation where we have multiple datacenters with OSS Chef Servers in each.

If anyone is in a similar situation, I am curious to know how would you get information about nodes in opposite sites?

Say I have a cookbook that needs to reference servers in their configurations that are in the opposite site?  Besides the very obvious of storing the info in some file local to the cookbook is there a more dynamic way to do this?
