under "source"
If you specify multiple file sources for a file, then the first source that
exists will be used. This allows you to specify what amount to search paths for
files:
file { "/path/to/my/file":
source => [
"/modules/nfs/files/file.$host",
"/modules/nfs/files/file.$operatingsystem",
"/modules/nfs/files/file"
]
}
This will use the first found file as the source.
