Puppet users - Apr 2011 - Serverside concatenation and conditional checks

Hi,

I''m trying to configure sysconfig file for a module.
within modules, i have mod/files/ directory which contains sysconfig-base
and sysconfig-nodename files.

From the module''s init.pp, I then want to create a final file that
consists
of the concatenation of sysconfig-base and sysconfig-nodename (if
sysconfig-nodename exists). This is what I have:

file { ''/etc/sysconfig/application'':
   source   => "puppet:///modules/mod/sysconfig-base"
   other_flags => "all other required file flags configured"
}

I am not sure how to concatenate the sysconfig-$hostname file on the server
side. I have installed r.i. pienaars concat module, but that seems to work
client-side, and not sure how to configure a conditional statement for
server-side module file after this.  1 way of implementing that will work is
by creating 2 files on the client: sysconfig.base and sysconfig.$hostname,
and THEN using the client-side concat module, but I don''t think this is
a
good way of implementing this.

alternatively: create a "concat.rb" ruby file (a new area of knowledge
for
me) to define a server-side concat of the files from the module dir, and
then define the file above using "content" instead of
"source"...

Any of these methods on the right "puppetized" way of doing things?
