Puppet users - May 2014 - Module for lsyncd - multiple syncs to be configured, but only one config file

Hi,

I wrote my first puppet module and it is for lsyncd.  I know that there is 
already a module for that but I think it was written to manage lsyncd and 
csync2 syncs and I don't really understand everything it it so I can't 
really use it or learn from it.  I have been able to create a simple 
module, below is the code from init.pp (I know, I should modularize it so 
that init.pp calls ::install and ::config, but I'll do that once the module 
works as I want).  It is actually working, but only allows for one sync to 
be configured.  I'd like it to be able to configure more than one sync, but 
since all the configs for lsyncd is in one file, I wouldn't know how to do 
it unless I add some variables like $method, $source2, $dest2, $desthost2, 
$append2 and $method, $source3, $dest3, $desthost3, $append3, $method, 
$sourcex, $destx, $desthostx, $appendx. I think someone here would know how 
to do it.

Code for init.pp:

class lsyncd ($method, $source, $dest, $desthost, $append) {

package { 'lsyncd':
        ensure => installed,
    }

    file { 'lsyncd.conf':
        ensure  => present,
        path    => '/etc/lsyncd.conf',
        owner   => root,
        group   => root,
        mode    => '0644',
        content => template('lsyncd/lsyncd.conf.erb')
    }

    service { 'lsyncd':
        ensure      => running,
        enable      => true,
        hasrestart  => true,
        hasstatus   => true,
        require     => [Package['lsyncd'],
File['lsyncd.conf']],
        subscribe   =>
            File[
                'lsyncd.conf'
            ],
    }

}


This is the code for the erb template (feel free to let me know if I you 
find errors):

settings {
   logfile    = "/var/log/lsyncd.log",
   statusFile = "/tmp/lsyncd.status",
   inotifyMode = "CloseWrite or Modify",
   delay       = "1"
}

sync {
   <%= @method %>,
   source     = "<%= source %>",
   host       = "<%= desthost %>",
   targetdir  = "<%= dest %>",

<% if @append -%>
   rsync      = {
      _extra = {"--append"}
   }
<% end -%>
}

Here is how I'd like to have my config file:

settings {
   logfile    = "/var/log/lsyncd.log",
   statusFile = "/tmp/lsyncd.status",
   inotifyMode = "CloseWrite or Modify",
   delay       = "1"
}

sync {
   default.rsyncssh,
   source     = "/var/www/test/src",
   host       = "www.example.com",
   targetdir  = "/var/www/test/dst",

   rsync      = {
      _extra = {"--append"}
   }
}

sync {
   default.rsyncssh,
   source     = "/var/www/",
   host       = "www.example.com",
   targetdir  = "/var/www/test/dst1",

   rsync      = {
      _extra = {"--append"}
   }
}

sync {
   default.rsyncssh,
   source     = "/var/log/",
   host       = "www.example.com",
   targetdir  = "/var/www/test/dst2",

   rsync      = {
      _extra = {"--append"}
   }
}

Thanks,
