It's a defined file resource without a source parameter.  Here is the
syntax:

file { "/opt/management/dns/zones":
                owner => "root",
                group => "root",
                mode => "644",
                ensure => directory,
                recurse => true }

Then there is a service resource that subscribes to that file:

service { "named":
                enable => true,
                ensure => running,
                require => File["/etc/named.conf"],
                require => File["/opt/dns/management/zones"],
                require => Package["bind"],
                subscribe => File["/etc/named.conf"],
                subscribe => File["/opt/management/dns/zones"] }

But the service never restarts when files in that directory change. I
would think it's because I'm not sourcing those files, but I'm not
sure.
