I read the presentation at http://stroessenreuther.info/pub/Puppet_getting_started.pdf, which was very insightful. With regard to using puppet in the DMZ and resources (slides 31-32), instead of the complication of a custom ruby script and modifications to all the modules I have, I opted to instead list puppet as a name for the loopback interface in /etc/hosts for node that hosts a puppet agent in that (and other) sections of my network. Does anyone see any issues with the hosts approach? The implementation seems to be much simpler and achieves the same thing. The advantages look to be many, but I want to make sure I am not missing something.
