When I made up my sites broadcast fact I solved it in a manner like interfaces.rb. Essentially there are multiple "broadcast_$interface" facts, and while creating these the interface associated with "ipaddress" also sets the "broadcast" fact as primary. Moving on to the gateway fact; I think a trivial solution is to use your array of gateways to create a series of "gateway_$n"[1] facts. If you can detect a default then that can be "gateway". Given I haven't looked at this exact problem yet, so I could be overlooking the hard bits. [1] I could have *sworn* Facter::Util had a method for exactly this, but now I don't see it of course. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
