Puppet users - Jun 2010 - Multiple puppetmasters using DNS round-robin

Hi,

I''m trying to set it up so that my puppet clients can connect to any
of a group of puppetmasters set up with aliases to a common hostname
and DNS round-robin.  The round-robin setup seems to be working, as I
can see ping, gethostbyname, etc connecting cyclically to each of the
puppetmasters.  However, running puppetd on the clients always result
in the request going to a single puppetmaster.  Has anyone been able
to get this working?  I''m running with puppet 0.24.9.

Thanks!
Morgan

Hi Morgan,

You actually want that once a client started to communicate with a master,
it should keep on connecting to the same master for the duration of its run.

esp in 0.24.x, the only way for a server to know in which environment the
client is, is by looking at its cache (created when the facts / catalog were
compliled).

IMHO, you can just use some simple round robin in your puppet.conf template
instead of using DNS round robin at all (at-least, until puppet support it
nativity ).

my 2 cents,
Ohad
