You could also keep all your puppet code in a git or svn repository.
Then you could have a single resource in the puppetmaster that ensures
the client has the latest revision of the code. Then you can easily
isolate the necessary puppet code for a client. It only updates when
there's a new commit and everything is stored locally on the clients.
