Package: puppet Version: 2.6.2-5+squeeze3 Severity: normal Hi,
The puppet host type seems to think that all hostnames map to one and
only one ip address. This is just not true. This makes it impossible
to represent, for instance, the following:
steve@varinia:~$ getent hosts google.com
74.125.230.80 google.com
74.125.230.81 google.com
74.125.230.82 google.com
74.125.230.83 google.com
74.125.230.84 google.com
Or, the more interesting use case for me, a multi-homed host. If the
host type didn't conflate $name with the first entry after the ip, you
could kludge this with
host {
$host-ipv4:
hostname => $host,
ip => 1.2.3.4;
$host-ipv6:
hostname => $host,
ip => 2001::1;
}
But I can't even do that. I think the best thing is for ip to be
changed to be able to take an array, personally, but I'm also not picky
about how this is resolved (not an intentional pun there, sorry).
Cheers,
