I solved this issue, by using netgroups (in LDAP) - which is loaded into puppet, by a script which is run by external_nodes setting (it just provides parameters - no actual nodes).
This way, a server can have multiple roles (by being in multiple netgroups). Unfortunately hiera can't currently handle if an array in it's lookup hierachy - now that would be a really great addition to hiera :) I then just group servers (or other netgroups) in netgroups as needed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
