1) You have "pluginsync = true" twice, but I assume this doesn't matter.
2) I believe factsync is deprecated, now and pluginsync is enough in more
modern version of puppet.
3) What version of puppet are you using on the client?
4) Are the client and server the same computer? Your output seems to imply
they are.
5) What does "find /var/lib/puppet -name dns_servers.rb" give you? (This path
might not be the correct one if you're NOT using a Debian based server. If so,
this should give you the right path: "puppet --genconfig | grep 'vardir =' "
