My intent is to ensure that if the client is actually an LDAP server, that it attempts to connect to itself first, rather than another server over the wire.
So yes, it would be better to get it right on the first run but given an array of available ldap servers to connect to, it's possible that a manually typed and erroneous variable could go unnoticed. Also, this seems to be something that is knowable anyway and probably not too difficult to write a custom fact that perhaps will take 2 puppet runs to fix. It just seemed to me that there must be some way to derive what is installed on the client within a manifest but I couldn't find any suggestions on Google or PuppetLabs site so I asked.
