If you use host resources, as already recommended, Puppet will create
the entries if they do not exist. If you only want those entries
present, tell Puppet to purge all host entries not specified in the
puppet configuration for that host.
host { 'host1.domain.com':
ip => '192.168.1.20',
ensure => 'present'
}
host { 'host2.domain.com':
ip => '192.168.1.30',
ensure => 'present'
}
host { 'unique_host.domain.com':
ip => '192.168.1.250',
ensure => 'present'
}
resources { 'host': purge => true }
Stop thinking custom scripts; start thinking resources. Most Puppet
configuration consists of specifying which resources you do or don't
want present in which circumstances. Most of the rest of it is about
defining which resources depend on which others (e.g. this running
application depends on that configuration file). You describe how a
system should look and Puppet does what is necessary to make it so.
