Oh, look. I get to be useful! I've done something similar for my computer
cluster class. I base the ip of the eth4 interface off the ip of eth0, changing
one octet from 39 to 38. Here's the line:
$eth4ip = regsubst($::ipaddress_eth0, '\.39\.', '.38.')
For your purpose, you'd need to do something like this:
$ntpip = regsubst($::ipaddress, '[0-9]+$', '1')
