are those clients which roam across subnets? (just to be sure why you are using ddns). you might consider using the certname option in puppet.conf to avoid the certificate name and fqdn fact.
if you dont need it, and you are ok with pre-defining the hostname values, you might look at foreman as an alternative (http://theforeman.org).
