If your regex-matched node definition is being applied in preference to an
fqdn-matched node definition, then something isn't right. Puppet is supposed to
apply the most specific node definition. For example, if your fqdn is
"web12.domain.org", then this declaration
node 'web12.domain.org' { include specific_class }
should always be applied instead of this
node /^web\d+.*/ { include general_class }
Take a look at the Matching section on this page to see how decides which node
definition to use when more than one can apply:
