Issue #16840 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
Status changed from Investigating to Accepted
That should be trivial to fix by changing defaults.rb, so that it doesn't
reference `$server`:
<pre>
:pluginsource => {
:default => "puppet://$server/plugins",
...
},
:pluginfactsource => {
:default => "puppet://$server/pluginfacts",
...
</pre>

Bug #16840: Default setting for pluginsource problematic for deployments using
SRV records
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16840#change-101269
* Author: Shane Madden
* Status: Accepted
* Priority: Normal

* Keywords: srv

----------------------------------------
The current default for the `pluginsource` setting is
`puppet://$server/plugins`. This works well with a `server` set, but in
deployments that utilize 3.0's SRV record feature, the `server` setting is
likely not utilized at all for communication with a master, and will often be
unset.
If SRV records are in use the `pluginsource` still gets filled in with the
contents of the `server` setting - and if it's unset, then the default is
`puppet`. This causes failure of the pluginsync process, which is a non-fatal
error for the agent run:
Error: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional resources
using 'eval_generate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
Error: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Could not evaluate: getaddrinfo: Name or
service not known Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet://puppet/plugins:
getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
I believe that changing the default setting for `pluginsource` from
`puppet://$server/plugins` to `puppet:///plugins` is functionally equivalent
for 'normal' deployments not running `use_srv_records`, while it will cause the
pluginsync process to find a working master in cases where `use_srv_records` is
utilized.
Simply setting `pluginsource = puppet:///plugins` is an effective workaround
for SRV record deployments in the interim.
