Issue #3669 has been updated by Jacob Helwig.

Status changed from In Topic Branch Pending Review to Code Insufficient

Yes, but not quite yet.  It needs to be updated with all the changes that have 
happened in master since it was last worked on.  It's currently causing all 
tests to fail once it's rebased on to the tip of `master`.  Also, the code that 
is in the branch currently will cause problems for people that explicitly 
specify a master in their `puppet://[$master]/$path` sources, since it will 
ignore the specified master.  Once these two issues have been resolved then I 
completely agree that having more public testing of it would be great.

Feature #3669: Make puppet honor DNS SRV records
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3669

Author: Martin Marcher
Status: Code Insufficient
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Jacob Helwig
Category: 
Target version: Telly
Affected Puppet version: development
Keywords: 
Branch: 
https://github.com/jhelwig/puppet/tree/ticket/next/3669-make-puppet-honor-DNS-SRV-records


I'd like to be able to define where puppet looks for the master server.

I propose the following:

By default try in the following order:

1. Look for a "_x-puppet._tcp.example.com" SRV record (or any name that you 
think is appropriate, but keep it a SRV record)
2. For backwards compatibility, if no SRV record is present look for 
puppet.example.com as a fallback or any value that is configured in the puppet 
config file

Reasoning:

A System Administrator can easily spread out the load over multiple puppet 
servers in this way or define some split horizon which answers with the 
"correct" hostname to use as a puppet master.

Thanks,
Martin
