I, too, have a puppet module that configures puppet. In my experience it isn't really any different than puppet managing any other daemon, with one glaring exception. That exception is that if you push out a bad puppet conf with puppet, then you're gonna have to go in and fix all your nodes without puppet. I've done this and it isn't fun, fortunately the environment was only a few dozen servers. If you're going to manage puppet with puppet be sure to thoroughly test changes before committing. (Which, honestly, you should be doing anyway. This particular case is just especially unforgiving.) -- Tom Noonan II
