Hi, I was asked by my boss if puppet can handle the following scenario. - 2 server (A and B) - same config for each server, eg. /etc/resolv.conf (nameserver 1.2.3.4) - but B should have a local unique requirement of another nameserver 5.6.7.8 so, A will have nameserver 1.2.3.4 but B will have nameserver 5.6.7.8 nameserver 1.2.3.4 when we change the global nameserver 1.2.3.4 to 9.8.7.6, it

Now, it is as simple as
