Puppet users - Jun 2014 - resources type and different providers

Hello,

I'm trying to make a new provider for the firewall type ( for amazon
security groups ).

But I'm trying to use both providers inside the catalog: some rules I need
for iptables only (for ex. nat rules), others for the security groups only.
I'm differentiating between the rules with a special tag.

In my code I have this rule to change the provider:

  Firewall <| tag != 'iptables' |> {
    provider => 'aws_securitygroup',
    line     => 'test',
    action   => 'accept',
  }

Much to my surprise, both providers are executed for each firewall rule: so
i have a security rule added and an iptables rule.

I like this very much, because at first I thought that only the amazon
rules will be executed.

My question is: is this the expected behavior? Or it's some kind of bug I
stumbled upon?

Best regards,
Cristian Falcas
