Puppet users - Jun 2012 - Using simulation capability against a specific node

I''ve just learned of the ''noop'' flag on apply and it
is really nice.
Only, I can''t figure out how to get it to do what I want and I wonder
if I misunderstand how it''s supposed to be used.

I''ve got several different types of nodes in a cluster where each type
gets some combination of the modules on puppetmaster applied to them.

So, when I change a module, I was thinking ''puppet apply
--noop'' would
allow me to see what that change would look like on a node of that
type.  Currently, it seems to compare to the "current" system - the
puppetmaster in this case.  So is there a way to do this same sort of
simulation against a specific node?  Or elsewhere I should be looking?
 Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
--tim

I think what you want here is to run the follow command on the specific 
node:

    *puppet agent* --test --*noop*
