Puppet users - Sep 2011 - How to dynamically edit node definitions

I would like to find out a way... given a host (or node), to
dynamically add or remove from that node''s definition.  Does anybody
know if this is possible?

I am currently running a find statement in the /etc/puppet/ directory
for all files that end in ".pp", grepping for "node
''hostname'' ... {",
and using a sed command to insert include statements.  Is there a more
simple way to do this?

If not, is there at least an easier way to find the ".pp" file where a
particular node is defined?

Thanks!

Perhaps you want to use an external node classifier? It can give you the
dynamic definition of nodes per run. See
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/external_nodes.html
