We'll probably need more steps to reproduce

In various light testing (start from bare, add more nodes, remove nodes, add nodes back) I can't get to the state of node existing cobbler but dnsmasq not aware of it / offering lease, or produce the above exception

I confirmed this again this morning on a virgin install. The only step I needed to correct it was to run cobbler sync on the build server then rerun ./clean-server control-server. I am thinking that instead of using

before => Service[cobbler], we use "require". I'll test this out and post results.

This modification appears to fix it. I tested it as working now. Basically, I dumped the package requirement and required the service instead of using before.

I'm running g.2 release for Grizzly and this issue still exist. After multiple install of the build-server you'll need to run 'cobbler sync' in order the PXE boot process to start and working. I'm assuming that this problem still exist.
