So how about a slightly less trivial example, such as configuring a
haproxy config based on the addresses of 2 web servers?

THe puppetmaster knows the addresses of the 2 web servers; it knows
the proxy is a proxy, and the form of the config file, but I cant see
how to put all that information together, except outside puppet. (Such
as having the web servers export their addresses to the puppetmaster,
which has an external script to use that information to modify the
template in the puppet configuration that the proxy module uses.)
