Hi,
The way I see it you have two options.
The hiera function like you said or a profile/parent class that you can use to
do the lookup.
class profile::provisioning (
$server
{
class {someclass: server => $server}
....
more
...
}
Then common.yaml has only
profile::provisioning::server: blah.node
Which ever floats your boat will work.
