This isn't my usecase so I don't care, but since you ask...

Suppose you have machines that:
*) Don't get any sensitive information through puppet.
*) Are re-imaged often using PXE+preseeding or PXE+kickstart
*) All the computers have names in the form of "lab-client-*.domainname"

Someone said that in this case you can put "puppetca --clean 
lab-client-*.domainname" as a cron job, and put "lab-client-*.domainname" in 
autosign.conf.  

Again, I don't do this, so don't do it for me.
