Generally, Puppet uses a service's init script to manipulate it, so you can alter services' restart behavior by modifying their init scripts. That has the additional advantage that you get the same behavior if the service is ever restarted any other way. There is no way to tell Puppet to start processing one resource, switch to processing a different resource, and later resume with the first. You could possibly split the load balancer bleed-down and spin- up into separate resources, however, and use standard Puppet 'require' and 'before' relationships or resource chaining to establish order of application. That might be advantageous if there are multiple resources you want to manage only while the load-balancer is down.
