Issue #4131 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.

Description updated
Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information

Is this still an issue?

If so, what semantics do people think that a `hosts` file managing resource 
pointed at a different target has?  Is it exclusively that you have two master 
sources, or is it that you have multiple files representing one content space?

I suspect the answer is that the `target` option is a bad deal, and should 
never have been included, because it makes the model fundamentally incoherent.
----------------------------------------
Bug #4131: host quietly moves resources from default file to target ( I assume 
this applies to all parsedfiles)

use the host resource and puppet resource:

I expect the following to fail:

<pre>
# puppet resource host test1 ensure=present target="/tmp/host" 
host_aliases=alias1
notice: /Host[test1]/ensure: created
err: /Host[test1]: Could not evaluate: ip is a required attribute for hosts
host { 'test1':
    host_aliases => ['alias1'],
    target => '/tmp/host',
    ensure => 'present'
}
</pre>

If there is already an entry for this host in /etc/hosts (the default target), 
puppet will use the ip address of that host and move it to the new target 
location.

<pre>
# echo '127.0.0.2 test1'> /etc/hosts
[root@puppet2 puppet_spec]# puppet resource host test1 ensure=present 
target="/tmp/host" host_aliases=alias1
notice: /Host[test1]/host_aliases: host_aliases changed '' to 'alias1'
notice: /Host[test1]/target: target changed '/etc/hosts' to '/tmp/host'
host { 'test1':
    host_aliases => ['alias1'],
    target => '/tmp/host',
    ensure => 'present'
}
</pre>
