You might want to use a parametrized class instead of the define, there is
a discussion in removing or not from future puppet releases[1]
so instead of the:
define vhost_default() {
you will have:
class vhost($name) {
And you will make reference to it as
class { "vhost": name => $fqdn }
You can put this into another more generic class and just include in your
node reference.
class vhost_default {
class { "vhost": name => $fqdn }
}
node foo {
include vhost_default
}
