What about running a satellite puppet master at each site?

Cheers for the response.
Network device management is being achieved using Puppet's new 'Network
Device' support as part of 3.0...
Site to site connectivity isn't an issue, as we've got a 100Mbps MPLS link
between all 3... However it was more about security and the practicality of
allowing the Puppet master effectively unlimited access to all sites...
Cheers

Afternoon all
We are starting to look at using Puppet Network device support in anger,
and one of the potential issues that has been raised is around cross-site
access...
Currently, we have one Puppet master server, which is hosted in location
C.
This server is able to access and manage the appropriate network devices
in location C.
However there are other devices in locations A and B which we want to be
able to manage through Puppet. However some potential concerns have been
raised around allowing the puppet master server blanket access to locations
A & B...
Is it possible therefore to run the network devices in effectively a
'proxy' mode. That is, we create/nominate a suitable node in locations A
and B which would be able to manage network devices in their respective
locations, and these nodes then talk back to the Puppet master.
Does this sound sensible?
Any other considerations/ideas as to how the above can achieve?
I have no idea how you are achieving the network device configuration but
a setting up a VPN between the master and locations b and c seems like the
best way to do it.
That would give you centralised management and security as well.
I would suggest using some kind of ssl wrapped vpn like openvpn or ipsec
or something like that.
I did find this module on puppet forge for managing openvpn
https://forge.puppetlabs.com/luxflux/openvpn
Hope that helps.
Pete.
Cheers in advance for any responses.

Gavin
