Issue #1866 has been updated by IanTurner.

It shouldn't be an issue as long as the server is not changed within a run.

Feature #1866: Support for specification of multiple servers
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1866

Author: IanTurner
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: luke
Category: plumbing
Target version: unplanned
Complexity: Medium
Affected version: 0.24.7
Keywords: load balanced, multiple masters, high availability


At the moment it is only possible to tell puppetd about one puppetmaster: 
Engaging multiple servers requires load balancing equipment such as that 
employed by the reporter of Feature #1557. The simplest (for administrators) 
way to address this issue is to enable round-robin server access within puppetd 
itself. This is the technique employed extremely effectively in openvpn.

I propose two configuration changes: The "server" directive should accept a 
comma-seperated list of servers, and a new "randomserver" boolean directive 
indicates how the server list is traversed.

Pseudocode to be executed at the start of each puppet run:
<pre>
# if randomserver and lastserver = NIL
  # serverlist <- rotateleft(serverlist, rand(length(serverlist))
# nextserver <- NIL
# trialcount <- length(serverlist)
# loop until nextserver ≠ NIL
  # trialserver <- first(serverlist)
  # if retrievecatalogok(trialserver)
    # nextserver <- trialserver
  # else
    # server <- rotateleft(server, 1)
    # trialcount <- trialcount - 1
    # if trialcount = 0
      # error("no working servers")    
# lastserver <- nextserver
</pre>
