No, lookup is done first in the external node classifier, then in node definitions in site.pp (or the environment-specific manifest file). > I leave nodes without a definition fail but you can also setup a > class that reports that this node has no entry in the external node > definitions with tag or an exported file. I have the external node classifier set a $errormessage variable if appropriate, and then something included by site.pp fails if the error message is defined. --apb (Alan Barrett) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
