Ouch, that looks like a painful way to do it.

So, John answered the question you actually asked, and I'm going to try
to answer the question you probably should have asked, which is, "what
is the smart way to achieve this?"
I think you probably want a custom type with enough parameters to
satisfy your particular needs. Eg, if the master is always the same and
the slaves are always the same, all you really need is the domain name.
If you need more parameterization per domain, you could make zones be a
hash with the additional information keyed carried in it.
I'd set it up something like:
class bind::params {
$domains = [
domain1,
...,
domain200,
]
}
class bind {
package { 'bind': }
service { 'bind': }
}
define bind::master_zone {
include bind
file { "/etc/bind9/zones/masters/${name}.conf":
content => template('bind/master_zone.conf.erb'),
notify => Service['bind']
}
}
define bind::slave_zone {
include bind
file { "/etc/bind9/zones/slaves/${name}.conf":
content => template('bind/slave_zone.conf.erb'),
notify => Service['bind']
}
}
class bind::master {
include bind
include bind::params
$zones = $bind::params::zones
bind::master_zone { $zones }
}
class bind::slave {
include bind
include bind::params
$zones = $bind::params::zones
bind::slave_zone { $zones }
}
This is off the top of my head, and leaves out an awful lot of
boilerplate. Hopefully you see what I'm trying to say and it gets you
to somewhere more manageable.
Cheers,
