Thanks for your answer Peter. I appreciate that. Yes, it's a really good idea, I did that before but it's kind of weird. Because while I'm developing more and more modules I have to change the module that contains a virtual resource, you know seems a little silly.
And I was wondering for a different idea or explanation, because I can't understand why Puppet can't handle that situation. Best regards. ~Pedro Cesar.
