Thanks for the feedback.
It will make life a lot easier if I can deploy/maintain puppet via a
RO NFS mount point. I presume you have the local stuff like /etc/
init.d/puppetmaster /etc/sysconfig/puppet /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
managed separately and located on each system?
Correct.
I thought it might be interesting to have the configs on NFS, but I
don't know if that would scale very well.
I think this is possible, depending on the installation. Some Puppet
customers have deploy Puppet world wide, cross continents, where the
stateless nature of NFS would not provide a suitable solution. For
smaller/geographically confined environments, a single source
deployment/management method might be worth researching.

Thanks!

How do you handle the *.rpm prerequisites of puppet itself. If one
installs (deploys) puppet on an NFS mount, presumably you would also
include enterprise-ruby (or standard) with those dependencies there.
Enterprise Ruby seems to have rolled their own rpms, prefixed with
"pe-".
Actually, we (Puppet) do not package Enterprise Ruby; however, we do
package Ruby 1.8.7 and do indeed name the rpm "pe-ruby". This is done
to differentiate the Puppet "stack" Ruby from a possible pre-installed
vendor Ruby. Puppet Enterprise's (pe) Ruby binary can be found here
"/opt/puppet/bin/ruby"

I was referring to the RPMs that ship with Enterprise Puppet -- I
haven't poked through the code, but if they get installed into the
system, then that would pretty much negate (or make more difficult)
creating an NFS-deployed Puppet for use.
We have not specifically tested a single shared deployment as described
by Mohamed (below). We do support and test installation, on all our
supported operating systems, from a RO NFS mount point.

Sorry ignore my last statement... I did not use REE on Solaris, but
used OpenCSW which packages all the software to go under /opt/csw,
including ruby and puppet, and makes it straightforward to share the
whole /opt/csw readonly over NFS
I still think REE with facter and puppet in one directory should be
work fine too.
Thanks,
Mohamed,
