[chef] RE: Rebuilding ephemeral chef servers

Hi Andrew,

From my experience, whenever you delete client.pem, chef-client will use your 
validation key to have a new one generated.  Since this is the case, instead 
of needing to check on a per-minute basis that the key is valid, I say that 
it's probably okay to delete the key and have a new one generated for you 
when it's needed.  This assumes that your validation key always remains 
valid; it wasn't clear that this is the case from your email.

Thanks,
Ameir
