Re: [Puppet Users] Is it possible to set up multi-level puppet nodes?

I''m setting up this kind of configuration now. Yes, it can be done.

Use a DNS alias (or hardware load balancer) for your second level
Puppet Masters.

I''m also using a DNS CNAME for my top-level Puppet Master, so that I
can (later) consider some fault tolerance here. My top-level Master is
my global Certificate Authority, so I''m using "puppetca" as
the cname.
My second level masters have "ca = false" in their config.

All third level clients (my nodes) are clients of my second-level
masters, and specify a config parameter of "ca_server = puppetca".
