Pretty sure you're just running into the "normal" behavior of the caching that puppet does: Since puppet caches successfully compiled files until it notices that they've changed, it won't go back to re-compile the nodes.pp (and pick up the new nodes/<hostname>.pp files) until nodes.pp itself needs a recompile. -- Jacob Helwig http://about.me/jhelwig
