Go with a custom fact, either through an evironment variable on the
clients, something like FACTER_NETWORK="net1", which will make a fact
called $network available in your manifests, or "true" fact, for which
I'd point you to the wiki. Another means would be to write a custom
function, which would look somewhat like that (top of my head and not
tested at all...):
"""
module Puppet::Parser::Functions
newfunction(:network, :type => :rvalue) do |args|
clientip = lookupvar('ipaddress') # this assigns $clientip the
ipaddress fact of the current client
## Do some clever stuff with clientip, assign $clientnet some
value
clientnet
end
end
"""
The "clever stuff" obviously needs to be some ruby logic, either with
nested if/elses or some matches, depending on what you feel most
comfortable with.
