When using the host type in a manifest, aliases for hosts not managed by
puppet are removed.
# cat /etc/hosts
192.168.1.1 host1.example.com host1
# cat /tmp/host.pp
host {
"host2.example.com": ip => "192.168.1.2", alias
=> host2, ensure => present;
}
# puppet /tmp/host.pp
dnsdomainname: Unknown host
notice: //host=host2.example.com/ensure: created
# cat /etc/hosts

192.168.1.1 host1.example.com
192.168.1.2 host2.example.com host2
The host1 alias has disappeared.
