The files above are my current master and agent configs, I have updated the
agent config after your suggestion and it seems to be working great...
But now I will need to update my puppet agent config(for the above change
and to include postrun_command for "puppet facts upload") on almost 2000
agents.. I understand that I can do it via puppet itself but each server
has a different certname
I guess.. I will need to use templates... but is it correct that any change
to puppet.conf is parsed immediately and does not require a restart.
Thanks a lot for your help once again..

Rakesh K.
