Issue #3669 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
When issuing a request to a specific server, e.g. puppet://server/path, we do not perform SRV lookups <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/26ce9c79672d578e9aa03d8341d8c315fcf30c8b#diff-4> <pre> # We were given a specific server to use, so just use that one. # This happens if someone does something like specifying a file # source using a puppet:// URI with a specific server. </pre> However, the default pluginsource is `puppet://$server/plugins`, which explains why the SRV lookups are being skipped. I didn't notice this earlier, because pluginsync used to be off by default. With that said, I'm not sure what the correct thing to do here. Omitting the server from the URI, e.g. `puppet:///plugins`, will likely allow pluginsync to use SRV lookups, but `factsource` will have the same problem. ---------------------------------------- Feature #3669: Make puppet honor DNS SRV records https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3669#change-60649 Author: Martin Marcher Status: Re-opened Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: development Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/jhelwig/puppet/tree/ticket/master/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.
