I'm trying to figure out the best way to achieve the following...

Inside of each node definition, I have variables for ip address,
default router, dns server, etc.  I have a jumpstart module that has
several different file resources that use templates.  In each
template, I would like to be able to use the values of the variables
in all nodes.

For example:
node foo { ipaddress => 1.2.3.4 }
node bar { ipaddress => 5.6.7.8 }

class jumpstart {
  jumpstart_client = [ "foo", "bar" ]
  file { "sysidcfg":
    content => template("sysidcfg.erb")
  }
}

sysidcfg.erb:
<% jumpstart_client.each do |client| -%>
hostname=<%= client %> ip_address=<%= client::ipaddress %>
<% end -%>

I don't think the above is possible.  What is the best way to
accomplish this (if any)?  I think this is where exported resources
would come in to play, but in this case they will not work because I
want the info on the jumpstart server before puppet is even installed/
run on the node.  In other words, I want to define the node in puppet,
do a catalog run on the jumpstart server to update it's config files
based on the new node definition, and then jumpstart the node (which
also installs puppet).

Any ideas?
