1) You have "pluginsync = true" twice, but I assume this
doesn''t matter.
2) I believe factsync is deprecated, now and pluginsync is enough in more modern
version of puppet.
3) What version of puppet are you using on the client?
4) Are the client and server the same computer? Your output seems to imply they
are.
5) What does "find /var/lib/puppet -name dns_servers.rb" give you?
(This path might not be the correct one if you''re NOT using a Debian
based server. If so, this should give you the right path: "puppet
--genconfig | grep ''vardir ='' "
