The bind9-chroot opscode cookbook seems to cover pretty much all the bases.

This one looks promising: https://github.com/Youscribe/bind9-cookbook
But it claims to be incomplete.  There seem to be several forks that
are all of the same lineage, but I'm not sure what the relationship of
them is/are.

Having said that, I'm writing my own.  The content served by our dns
servers is in mysql (we use the bind-dlz support), so I don't need to
manage the zones, only the named.conf and the required directories for
bind to run.

I'm a new Chef user so I am still learning, but I hang out in #chef
and #learnchef daily if you would like to collaborate.  My nick is
cannonball; feel free to look me up.
