Hi,
the issue is related to how scoping works for nodes in Puppet.
The variable defined in your child nodes is not accessible from within the
basenode node and is thus not available in its included classes.
In order for the variable to be availble to the template, you would have to
move the include ntp call to the child classes.
This is one of the main reasons that people wind up using either an external
node classifier or extlookup for modeling data.
regards,
Dan
