Don't know it that well yet, but the bits that are appealing to me are
the dashboard
functionality (for puppet reporting) and the 'Smart Proxy'  concept to
drive external
services as part of provisioning. That takes care of the puppet
signing issue but in
our case we have bespoke system that runs our DHCP/DNS servers.

Cobbler can manage BIND/isc-dhpcd, but we have to click through an external
webapp to reserve the IP and FQDN up front. A small REST app in front of that
looks like it should be able to allow automation with a Foreman setup.
