Sounds pretty much like the problem I posted yesterday. You may have a look at it here: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/336a6c1d941acca8/b50faf7711b7bf41?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=adamowicz#b50faf7711b7bf41.
It seems that external node definitions and different environments are the solution for our problems. Just search the Puppet-Wiki and you'll get the information on theses topics.
