Hi,

I use puppet to manage servers in a mutualized hosting context and I get 
some trouble concerning the node definitions.

For example on dns nodes I have to declare many `bind::zone` resources like 
this:

bind::zone { ['website1.com']:
  expire => 604800,
  minimum => 3600,
  ttl => 38400,
  …
  records => [
    'www        IN    A    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
    …
        ]
}

bind::zone { ['website2.com']:
  expire => 604800,
  minimum => 3600,
  ttl => 38400,
  …
  records => [
    'www        IN    A    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
    …
        ]
}

… and hundred others like this.

Finally, the file containing node definition became very big and difficult 
to maintain.
I have the same issue for a webserver with apache::vhost resources for 
example.

For the moment I use a workaround like this:

import vhosts/*.pp

And in each files I put a condition to make a restriction for a particular 
nodes like this:

if $::fqdn =~ /^web(\d*)\.example\.net$/ {
    apache::vhost { 'website2':
    …
    }
}

I suppose that many puppet users use puppet to manage nodes in mutualized 
hosting context and I would ask if someone have a better solution for this 
issue?

Regards,

Thomas
