Haha I totally get it. I'm in a weird situation since we have puppet running externally and also alongside our foreman setup while we evaluate and prepare to switch over to have foreman handle being the puppet master/ca/etc. All very confusing. For now I think I'll manage DHCP for my production environment manually and just create a file like "/etc/dhcp/subnets.conf" which I can force-include after I run foreman-installer (if I ever do).
