That should work. However, a more puppetish way of doing it is using a
template to generate ntp.conf. I'm guessing the only difference between
your ntp.conf's is the server setting. Here's how you could do it with a
template:
in site.pp specify ntp servers for each site, e.g.:
case $site {
sj: {
$ntpServerList = [ 'ntp1.sj', 'ntp2.sj' ]
}
to: {
$ntpServerList = [ 'ntp1.to', 'ntp2.to' ]
}
}
then make an ntp.conf.erb in the templates directory that contains this:
<% ntpServerList.each do |ntpServer| -%>
server <%= ntpServer %>
<% end -%>
then in your manifest:
file { "/etc/ntp.conf":
content => template("ntp/ntp.conf.erb"),
}
This way you have only one file to edit to change site-specific setings.
In our environment we have a function in site.pp that determines $site
based on fqdn.
