The internal and external node systems are essentially parallel ways
of configuring nodes. If you have any nodes defined in the language,
then Puppet will similarly fail if a given client doesn't match an
internal node definition.
And the two systems are entirely orthogonal -- they can do similar
work, but they work with entirely separate mechanisms and they neither
conflict nor work together.
Yes, it's confusing, but the previous model -- where you couldn't use
them together -- was apparently even more confusing.
It's pretty easy, really: If you use a given node system, every
client must have an entry in that node system. You should probably
stick to just one of them.
