[Puppet Users] Modifying a FACT Value In a Manifest

In my network every subnets default gateway is X.X.X.1.  That router
gateway is always running ntpd which I want to give be default as the ntp
server in every hosts ntp.conf.

Since there is no official "default gateway" fact yet, what I want to
be
able to do in my manifest is take the $ipaddress fact and turn it into the
gateway for that subnet.

For example...
IP = 10.1.1.12
GW = 10.1.1.1

I''m using the puppetlabs-ntp module, so I should be able to do
something
like this in my classes...I think...  I just need to know how to get the .1
address in there...

class mycustomclass:ntp {
class { "ntp":
servers => [ DOT_ONE_ADDRESS_FOR_HOSTS_IP_GOES_HERE ],
autoupdate => false,
}
}

If this was raw ruby I could do some string magic to turn the last value to
1.  I don''t know how to do that with the Puppet DSL though.

Thanks,
Matt

Something like: $router = regsubst($ipaddress, ''[0-9]+$'',
''1'')

Should replace all the last numbers of the ipaddress with simply 1.

Oh, look. I get to be useful! I''ve done something similar for my
computer cluster class. I base the ip of the eth4 interface off the ip of eth0,
changing one octet from 39 to 38. Here''s the line:

    $eth4ip = regsubst($::ipaddress_eth0, ''\.39\.'',
''.38.'')

For your purpose, you''d need to do something like this:

    $ntpip =  regsubst($::ipaddress, ''[0-9]+$'',
''1'')
