Don't get me wrong - I am using DNS. I have 3 entries I want in each host
file. The primary production DB server (I don't want to run caching DNS
everywhere, and I connect to it a lot. It's also a failsafe if there are
DNS issues) - the management box with puppet, and localhost.

Hey,
I'm pretty new to Puppet, but if you cut and paste from your existing
configuration, perhaps this could be your problem:

You have $myhosts vs $myhost. You then only reference $myhost:

Just out of curiosity, why aren't you using DNS?
If you were, you could easily map your DNS to a hosts file for speed
and synchronize it regularly.
Alternatively, you could use a custom function on the server to make
it all work for you.
