you can has my rsync server / client / on the fly share export recipes--...

... wish i sent them a long time ago it looks like someone has been busy on this cookbook since I originally checked it out a year ago. 

It works really well, I have several services including percona xtradb cluster, xtrabackup and  percona toolkit, as well as haproxy, stud, php and couchbase that I compile from scratch on my VM's from a git repo... I prefer to prefunk the servers with rsync before the git resources get called so that they're not hitting people's git remote servers much if at all. I also had a couple of different roles that needed to run haproxy and php for example, so I implemented "vhosts." 


I do access restriction with my iptables cookbook which I'm also about to send a pull request for, hope that and this will be useful to you guys in some way if not I would love to get feedback.
