I wrote a module which sets the mail of root in /etc/alias using the command "alias" I have a master node where I set this email like

node master { class{"rootmail": mail_dst => "[email protected]"} }

All child nodes inherit of the master as advised on many books. I have some particular child that need another email for root but the have to inherit from the master node. I tried to invoke the class rootmail but it causes error and says that the module were already declared.

Does one of you have had this case once ? Is there a turn around?

Thanks

extlookup is your answer. This function allows to use common value (xxx), and redeclare it only where it's really necessary.

    Hiera should be used over extlookup these days where possible. Commented Jan 23, 2013 at 6:52
  • Sounds nice, but is there another way? I'd like to avoid to have an external definition file. Thanks Commented Jan 23, 2013 at 13:22
