Yeah.. this is a pretty funky situation.. So recap, I covered all the
basics of Puppet/SSL connectivity:

1) times are synced via NTP
2) All SSL values are default
3) SElinux and iptables are off
4) client/server are on the same network
5) all hostnames resolve to fqdn from both dns/files

All I did was upgrade and then rollback from 2.6, but I'm guessing
that something got changed at the SSL level (I hope I'm just
overlooking something) and I can't tell what it is.  At this point, I
feel like I'd need to rebuild the whole server from scratch, but I was
hoping someone had a silver bullet for me to use...
