What I do is name my server what ever I want and then DNS I add a
"puppet" CNAME record to point to my server's real name. It saves me a
lot headaches both in puppet and the rest of my infrastructure.

You can name it whatever you like.  'puppet' is the default.  In your client's 
puppet.conf files, add the line:

server = puppetmaster_hostname

under the [agent] section if running version 2.6 and [main] section if running 
version 0.25.  It also doesn't hurt to add this line to your puppetmaster's 
puppet.conf file under the [master] (2.6) or [puppetmasterd] (0.25):

certname = puppetmaster_hostname

Morning chaps,

"puppet". Is this correct? I'd like to be able to call this box
whatever I like. I think that I can do that within
/etc/puppet/puppet.conf.
