Seems your right, quick test :

fab -H dns1 dns_restart
[dns1] Executing task 'dns_restart'
[dns1] sudo: service bind9 restart
[dns1] out: sudo password:
 * Stopping domain name service... bind9
[dns1] out:    ...done.
[dns1] out:  * Starting domain name service... bind9
[dns1] out:    ...done.


Done.
Disconnecting from dns1... done.
wernerg@admin:/opt/git/bin$ fab -H dns1 dns_restart
[dns1] Executing task 'dns_restart'
[dns1] sudo: service bind9 restart
[dns1] out:  * Stopping domain name service... bind9
[dns1] out:    ...done.
[dns1] out:  * Starting domain name service... bind9
[dns1] out:    ...done.


First time it prompts me for a password - why? As far as I understand
Fabric should be able to handle this?
Give the password and then the script runs without a hitch on re-runs
afterwards.
