I want to use a CNAME as a level of indirection
( to point N webservers at the active mySQL replica).
I'd like to use /etc/hosts to avoid the DNS propagation delays.
I don't want to do away with DNS altogether though - is it possible to lookup
a hostname and pass that IP to the hosts type? Something like:
# this gets used by several classes
$activedbhost = "mysql1.mydomain.com"
host { "db.hosting.mydomain.com":
ensure => present,
ip => ip_of($activedbhost)
}
'ip_of()' is what Puppet calls a 'function', right?
Does anyone have a reference on how to write them -
the reductive labs docs seem a little broken today.
Or better still, has someone already written such a thing :)
