I am not able to cache the updates from the server as I had updated
the nodes puppet.conf with usecacheonfailure=true or any other info
need to be updated  ?

I am getting the error messages  as,

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: getaddrinfo: Name
or service not known
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
err: Could not send report: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

Please assist.
Thanks
