Puppet users - Jul 2009 - automatically choose between a private file and a template file

Hi,

I m wondering if is there a way to automatically choose between a 
private file and a template file for the file content source :

so if a private file exist we choose to get the content from it,
and if the private file doesn''t exist we get the content from a
template.

I already do this to choose between  "private" or "files"
source :

# The configuration file
     file { "/etc/dhcpd.conf":
         owner   => "root",
         group   => "root",
         mode    => 644,
         source => [
                     "puppet:///private/etc/dhcpd.conf",
                     "puppet:///dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf"
         ],
     }

but I want to choose between template and private automatically and with 
the syntax "content"  and "source" it not work :/

I have try this but with no luck :/

   $private_source = 
"/var/lib/puppet/private/$domain/$hostname/etc/dhcpd.conf"

     file { "/etc/dhcpd.conf":
         owner   => "root",
         group   => "root",
         mode    => 644,
         content => [
                 template($private_source),
                 template("dhcpd/etc/dhcpd.conf"),
                 ],
     }


any idea  ?


Note: we  use centos 5.3 and puppet 0.24.8
