Hi Christian, Thanks a lot buddy, that helped me a lot. I was able today to change all my puppet configuration with the external_node feature using dashboard. This is really a good thing but definitely need to be documented so people can use it. I'm considering writing such a doc for the wiki to help the project. The more people use puppet the more puppet will be loved, this project really deserve it !!!!
