My thought exactly. Furthermore, On Mar 16, 11:52 am, "chris_sny...@sra.com" <chris_sny...@sra.com> wrote: > [...] However, what logic do I use to determine if the box is an actual > DNS server? That's the wrong question. The right one is "how should Puppet tell whether the box *should be* a DNS server?" Generally the answer boils down to node identity (e.g. hostname). Alternatives that involve elements of whether the node already is a DNS server are more difficult to implement and far less useful -- perhaps even harmful. For instance, suppose a rogue DNS server gets set up in your network. Do you really want to push out your DNS server config to it? Or suppose you decide some node should stop offering DNS. How can you do that if your config is built around DNS servers remaining DNS servers? John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
