I hope my title makes sense.  I'm still new to puppet but have made a
lot o progress in a matter of 2-3 days and have a good grasp on the
fundamentals... Now I'm trying to determine how to do a little more
then basic things.

My hosts all have standard hosts files that are almost identical,
what's not identical is 3  lines,  2 lines I can generate with ip
address information and hostname,  the third line I can pull from an
outside db or from the existing file.

i.e.:

custom host entries:

192.168.1.20    host1.domain.com
192.168.1.30    host2.domain.com
192.168.1.250  unique_host.domain.com

Is there a way to manage this with puppet?  What I would like to do is
be able to check that those 3 entries exist... if not replace the file
and generate the custom content that needs to be in the file?

Not sure how to do this in puppet.. or if it is even possible.

My thought's are a custom script that verifies the file,  if that
script fails... replace the file,  then run another script to populate
the custom information.  Or can this all be done from within puppet?
Also the hosts file is just an example... I have probably a dozen
other files I need to be able to do this with.
