Puppet users - Jul 2013 - How to: In nodes.pp - point "node" to hostnames in a file

I am working on a project that involves host names with now sequence to 
them.  

I would like my "node" hostnames in nodes.pp to point to a file with a
list
of these hostnames.
Example: node {path/filename} {

instead of the usual:

node ''www1.example.com'' {

or

node /^www\d+$/ {


Can this be done?


Can anyone show my an example of how this was achieved?


Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you might want to look at using an ENC - see:
