I'm inclined to say you're going to need something like that, but
probably a custom /function/, rather than a custom type.
That way you could ideally do things like:
if has_ip('192.168.5.5') {
...
}
Though I'm a bit curious as to what kind of configuration decisions
you're making, as it would be ideal if a manifest didn't key off that,
but rather
on the types of classes assigned to it. A class that behaves
differently if installed on a different server seems to imply an
inherited class would
be useful.
