Most people will use a "node" classification tool. In my specific case I use a combination of a node classifier, and standardized DNS naming conventions. For hardware related items, you have custom facts, dmiedecode etc etc. Really you will always hit the "one-off" bug of a system when it comes to "standard" builds, it's just a matter of lowering the "one-off" percentage as much as possible that makes environments much easier to manage.

Out of the box, puppet can be extremely dynamic as long as you have a creative way of figuring things out (dns naming conventions). But whenyou ultimately need to know that between two php sites (a.com,b.com) an external classifier works best (or a custom fact)
Try things out and see what works for you.
