Okay, so that would work like this:


puppet.                              CNAME     deafeng3.signtype.info.
deafeng3.signtype.info     A               192.168.4.75


Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'll give it a try pending 
confirmation. This would be very helpful material in the 
reductivelabs.com tutorial for puppet.
