I'd like to counter this limited use case with my rant about semaphores from five years ago: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.puppet.devel/13039.
Followed by the conversation from two years ago. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16187 What you want is cross-node synchronization and synchronization storage state. You can sort of do this with exported resources, but it's VERY clumsy. I know that it's a long shot, but I figure that I'll resurrect it as appropriate every couple of years ;-). Other than that, why not call it 'haproxy'.
