Hi,
We already used stored configs but we can't use it for DHCP and DNS because
those records need to be created before the node actually syncs for the
first time, even before it's installed with an OS to begin with.
I hadn't thought of just separating that information into its own YAML
file, that's an interesting solution and one I'll definitely be looking
into to.
