I'm doing something similar in one environment… I've come to realize this
method contains less awesome than I'd anticipated.
What I'd suggest doing, is changing the file deployed to the client into a
template that's deployed via puppet..
have that template set the content correctly for the machine in question when
it's deployed.
The HOW you go about doing that varies greatly depending on your environment…
This way you're not trying to override facts, which is generally an adventure
in undergoodness.
