No I am not using environments with this setup, curious on how that would
make a difference if the module base is identical for all of my production
hosts.

By using a subject altname on the cert would that allow for a distributed
certificate for all my hosts in that specific environment.  Since each
datacenter has its own two puppetmasters  they also have their own dns
domain suffix so that could work.
