Thanks for the replies. Most of these seem doable - I'd have to consider how we'd accomplish the templated scripts in Foreman, as it sounds like you can only have a single script and we use several of these calls during an installation.
My biggest concern would be around the dual-homed networks. - Do we have to have Foreman control DNS? We already have DNS automation tools and have no wish to port that over to Foreman - We don't route any services to the prov vlan - including DNS. We make dhcp/tftp/http available to it, but those are all served by the provision Cobble server. Will that still work? - We only use DHCP for the provisioning process. Everything else has static IPs. I assume that's ok, as long as we let Foreman control the DHCP server on the prov vlan - Do we install one Foreman server for the entire DC in our case and replace the Cobbler servers with Smart proxies or would we need a Foreman server to replace each existing Cobbler server?
