Makes sense.

So that's just a certname setting inside the [puppetmasterd] config section of /etc/puppet.conf on the master, correct? But that needs to be set as puppet before the puppetmaster is started and any certificates are signed.

Keeping on this same subject, perhaps you can answer the fileserver.conf question as well - if a node does not have a signed cert, can it still access the fileserver, regardless of the allow/deny rules inside fileserver.conf?

The masters would get certname = puppet, so the cert filename would end up 
being puppet.pem.  You can then create a DNS
entry for the VIP called puppet.<domain>.<suffix>.  You just have to copy that 
cert to the secondary nodes as well as
keeping the client certs in sync so when a failover happens you have the client 
certs on the failover node.

            Might have to get a little creative.. I think you can also do a 
common CA, but that wasn't a
            requirement for my
            environment.


So I assume you're only talking about certname = puppet on the master, correct? 
 The clients would still generate
hostname based certs?
