+# == Define Resource Type: apache::balancermember
+#
+# This type will setup a balancer member inside a listening service
+# configuration block in /etc/apache/apache.cfg on the load balancer.
+# currently it only has the ability to specify the instance name, url and an
+# array of options. More features can be added as needed. The best way to
+# implement this is to export this resource for all apache balancer member
+# servers, and then collect them on the main apache load balancer.
+#
+# === Requirement/Dependencies:
+#
+# Currently requires the puppetlabs/concat module on the Puppet Forge and
+# uses storeconfigs on the Puppet Master to export/collect resources
+# from all balancer members.
+#
+# === Parameters
+#
+# [*name*]
+# The title of the resource is arbitrary and only utilized in the concat
+# fragment name.
+#
+# [*balancer_cluster*]
+# The apache service's instance name (or, the title of the apache::balancer
+# resource). This must match up with a declared apache::balancer resource.
+#
+# [*url*]
+# The url used to contact the balancer member server.
+#
+# [*options*]
+# An array of options to be specified after the url.
+#
+# === Examples
+#
+# Exporting the resource for a balancer member:
+#
+# @@apache::balancermember { 'apache':
+# balancer_cluster => 'puppet00',
+# url => "ajp://${::fqdn}:8009"
+# options => ['ping=5', 'disablereuse=on', 'retry=5', 'ttl=120'],
+# }
+#
+define apache::balancermember(
+ $balancer_cluster,
+ $url = "http://${::fqdn}/",
+ $options = [],
+) {
+
+ concat::fragment { "BalancerMember ${name}":
+ ensure => present,
+ target => "${::apache::params::confd_dir}/balancer_${balancer_cluster}.conf",
+ content => inline_template(" BalancerMember ${url} <%= @options.join ' ' %>\n"),
+ }
+}
