class example {
case $hostname {
node1 : {$conf_file = 'file1'}
node2: {$conf_file = 'file2'}
default: {$conf_file = ''}
}
if $conf_file != '' {
file { '/etc/network/test':
ensure => file,
source => "puppet:///modules/example/$conf_file",
}
}
}
Note that this leaves File['/etc/network/test'] *unmanaged* for nodes
other than node1 and node2, which is quite a different thing from
ensuring it absent or empty. You might want to consider those options
too.
Note also that the above will ensure at every Puppet run that the
contents of /etc/network/test are exactly what the same as those of
the master's specified file. If you don't want to keep the file
contents synchronized with the master after the file is initially
copied (or created some other way) then add "replace => false" to the
File resource's parameters.
