Hello,------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it possible for func to work in an environment where the nodes do not use DNS. What alternatives are there. Can I just distribute a central hosts file as part of a kickstart install. My goal is to use func with cobbler. Thanks.

Hi Don,
The certmaster infrastructure is pretty well keyed around FQDNs. We use these for the certnames and we also use these for determining which hosts Func should contact. I'm guessing it would take a fair amount of work to make it work with arbitrary names for things or just IP's.
Do you mean that you don't have DNS, or you just have really unreliable DNS (like, say, some Active Directories I have known in the past)?

Most of the minions do not need DNS names as we directly use IP addresses as they never need to contact the Internet. If DNS is required for now then I'll try to see if the network admin is willing to add DNS names for the nodes. Thanks.
