Puppet users - Apr 2007 - running puppet without connection

Hi,

I have configured puppet to work on debian linux distro and it is working 
very well. Now I am going to migrate all communications from client to 
server to use and vpn network.

So I changed puppet client to use the ip of puppet master inside of the 
vpn network and it worked.

My point is I have configured puppet client to ensure that openvpn is 
always running. So if openvpn client dies, puppet client cant communicate 
to puppet master and does not restart openvpn client. There is a way to 
configure puppet to cache last configuration download from puppet 
master and if the communications fails it runs this last configuration, 
trying to restart openvpn client?

Thanks for any help,
Bruno

If you''re using puppetd, it should cache the configuration by default  
(as long as you aren''t starting with --test).  Are you not seeing  
this behaviour?
