I use, and depend on, puppet extensively and a good portion of the servers (nodes) are remote, across a WAN.
I just started a WAN Optimization trial with some Juniper gear, one of the components of WAN optimization is compression and the puppet client/server communication is compressing pretty well. According to the Juniper reporting the puppet data is being compressed between 25-50%. Is puppet using compression between client and server? If it is not, has it been considered? Considering most of the data exchanged between client and server would be text in the form of manifests and config files i think it could achieve good compression with low overhead. I have nginx in front of my puppetmasters, if i enable gzip compression there will the puppet client still work? Any thoughts?
