Hi,
The 3rd option is interesting, i should try it to see.
So far i had tried a similar way, with a "realize", but instead of
overriding the content file, i had some conditional blocks with a variable
in the puppet.conf.erb file. And it did not work, because it seems the
variable was never known at the time of the first "realize" call (by the
class puppet). But with a content overide, it should work, i suppose
