I've been using this, which works pretty well for a template selector:
file { "foo":
content => inline_template(
file(
"/literal/path/to/template/on/puppetmaster/$hostname.erb",
"/literal/path/to/template/on/puppetmaster/$devicename.erb",
"/literal/path/to/template/on/puppetmaster/$clientname.erb",
"/literal/path/to/template/on/puppetmaster/motd.erb"
)),
...
}
