Assuming the client has puppeted at least once against that server. This
won't work for bootstrapping a client though will it?

I'd love it if facts were available to the external node classifier. I'm
thinking of a flow like:

* new client runs puppet, has no facts
* external node classifier supplies a bootstrap environment with bootstrap
facts
* client submits evaluated facts to external node classifier again, it can
now make decisions with full data about the client.
