While I know DNS recommended for Puppet, is it a mandatory requirement?
Or I can get with using plain IP's for this?
Thanks.

if your problem is the lack of a proper DNS server, using /etc/hosts should work, you can then use puppet for keeping /etc/hosts in sync :-)

Good idea, this suggestion can solve the matter indeed :). I guess the only problem would be if the master puppet changes. Still, is it possible to use just plain IP's?– SyRenityJan 3, 2010 at 9:13

3possibly, but I wouldn't bother trying. hard coding ips everywhere puts you in a world of hurt if they need to be changed.– JustinJan 3, 2010 at 21:45

It is hard to get puppet working in a DNS-less environment, you'll spend a lot of time fighting certificate problems. Avoid it if you possible can. A local DNS server isn't too hard to setup.– mfarverJan 5, 2010 at 16:44

2Yep, I'm already convinced myself I should stop thinking in "flat IP" (thanks to other great answers on this site), hence I asked to close this question.– SyRenityJan 5, 2010 at 18:32

Best to leave the question open for anyone who comes along in the future with the same problem. You can help them even more by posting your exact rationale in a detailed answer on this question.– womble ♦Jan 6, 2010 at 9:33
