Puppet users - Aug 2012 - Using ENC with existing node definitions

I currently have puppet configured to use node definitions in
/etc/puppet/manifests/node.pp. At the time, most of the machines are physical
hosts.

Now I need to start putting puppet on virtual guests. Ideally, I want to use an
ENC for those guests, but I don''t want to using the physical hosts with
the ENC (yet).

Is it possible to use ENC along existing node definitions? And if so, what is
the best way to go about implementing it?

Absolutely. The caveats to be aware of are better explained in our
docs than anything I could write. :-)

If you''ve got any questions on what you find there, let us know.

Fair enough. I looked at the docs again after I sent the email and yes, looks
like I can, with some caveats.

Thanks!
