i do not think that "extlookup" is the solution we are looking for, because it is not powerful enough. For some kind of modules you will need the relation between host an ip, or host an service. At the moment, i am using a bunch of if/else cases, but a hash or function which is parsing a *.yaml file would be more powerful. The Debian project has found a nice way to handle this. http://git.debian.org/?p=mirror/dsa-puppet.git;a=blob_plain;f=manifests/site.pp;hb=HEAD http://git.debian.org/?p=mirror/dsa-puppet.git;a=tree;f=files/etc/puppet/lib/puppet/parser/functions;hb=HEAD Regards, Dennis
