Hi Puppeteers, I think I know the answer to this but I want to hear it from the experts. Our company is global (1 office in the US, 1 in the EU, 1 in Asia) yet the whole company is part of the same DNS hierarchy, comany.com. The EU office was the first to implement Puppet so they have taken puppet.company.com. Is there no way for me to tell the clients that they''re looking for puppetUS.company.com? Obviously I''d like to leverage DNS here instead of having to edit every single host file. I suspect that the answer is that the client looking for "puppet" is hard-coded and not configurable. I hold out a glimmer of hope that there is an alternative within puppet that will keep me from editing all the host files. For all the puppet developers out there, if this is still not configurable, it would be a nice-to-have. Thanks in advance! -Dan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hey, Dan wrote:> hope that there is an alternative within puppet that will keep me from > editing all the host files.Also, if you''re using the RPMs for an EL-based distro (Red Hat/CentOS/Oracle), you can edit /etc/sysconfig/puppet and specify the FQDN of the Puppet Master. cYa, Avi --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you''re kickstarting, I''d recommend dropping it into the end of your kickstart file: %post echo "server = puppetus.foo.corp" >> /etc/puppet/puppet.conf If you''re combining this with Cobbler, it should be pretty easy to template and keep everyone separate.
