Hi Alex, Just a quick point,
Glad to see Team Puppet out in force to show you the light! That CF rep, needs a swift kick in the …. well, I don't want to advocate violence here, I think he can do with being added to your junk mail list. 3000 hosts? No problem! You have to serve one session per client every 30 mins, and your puppet master doesn't process much unless you've changed something. That's about a hundred hits a minute, so use apache instead of webrick, and your good to go! CERN as I understand it, are the guys trying to "recreate the big bang". Not simulate it, like NASA, or do some complex maths research about it… actually do it. Now, if anyone on the planet needs to be 100% sure that their gazillion or so hosts are all playing nice, it's them. They use Puppet. Next question!?
