Well, the 'qa[a-z0-9]' bit probably isn't going to do what you want. At
least, it looks like you wanted to test a regex match, but you wrote an
equality test instead.
Also, it is best to use fully-qualified names. Custom facts are in the top
namespace, so their fully-qualified names look like "$::server_class".
You could also drop this in to make sure that your fact values are actually
what you expect:
notify { 'server_class':
message => "my class is '$::server_class'"
}
