Puppet docs require a PUPPET server name -- which I presumed a CNAME

The server that puppetmasterd is running on services other purposes,
and I don't want to call it puppet. I'm wondering if this is simply
for cosmetic needs say, for new clients.
Use a DNS alias with no PTR or a CNAME. Also look at the certdnsnames
parameter.

CNAME dns entries work with puppet. You must realize that they might not
be as reliable, but they work. Make sure the value of server config
parameter on the client is either equal to certname or in certdnsnames
on the server. This also goes for the client on the server. Check

further details ;)
