Why don't you collect and build those things directly on the node where
you need it?
Use something like the concatenated_file define[1]:
source:
@@concatenated_file_part { "$ipaddress":
dir => "/var/lib/puppet/ips",
content => "$ipaddress\n",
tag => 'ip'
}
target:
Concatenated_file_part <<| tag == 'ip' |>>
concatenated_file { "/etc/iplist":
dir => "/var/lib/puppet/ips",
}
This gives you a list of all $ipaddresses in /etc/iplist on the target.
