            On a system with multiple interfaces and IP addresses, such as a network switch, router, or multi-homed server, the user should be able to specify the source-IP-address that the agent uses when contacting the server. The configuration setting should be available from the command line and the puppet.conf file.

          • Release Notes Summary:
            The `sourceaddress` setting can now be used to specify which interface the agent should use for outbound HTTP requests. It may be necessary to set this if the agent is running on a host with multiple interfaces.

            Description

            On a system with multiple IP addresses, the user should be able to specify which IP address the puppet agent will use.

            This feature is especially desired on a network device that may have many IP addresses where a certain one should be chosen due to routing or security considerations. We have a large customer who has specifically requested this support for their environment.
