The key thing to keep in mind if you're using Puppet to build a
cluster is that if you're doing something to a service that is or will
be managed by the cluster, that service should either:

- not be part of the cluster at that time, or
- the cluster needs to be told to ignore the service temporarily, or
- the act of taking the service down or bringing it up needs to be
done via cluster tools

NOT doing one of those, telling the cluster "here's a service, make
sure its available" and then screwing around with it, puts the cluster
and Puppet into conflict (essentially an internal split-brain) that
rarely ends well.
