Puppet fails when A record missing from SRV lookup

Issue Type:	Improvement
Affects Versions:	PUP 3.7.5
Assignee:	Unassigned
Created:	2015/07/14 12:41 PM
Environment:	Using SRV records to load balance and provide fault tolerance across 2 datacenters CentOS 7 VMWare
Priority:	Normal
Reporter:	Tim Rosine

When I run puppet agent --test against this SRV record, puppet spews numerous errors because of the lack of an A record for dc2-ppmaster02. This should be managed as if there was an A record (unable to connect), moving along to any partners/fallback servers.

Workarounds until this can be improved:

Remove the SRV RR that does not have a corresponding A record
Add an A record (in some environments the future IP address is unknown until deployment)
