RE: Classing servers by network

[Andrews, Martin]

cfengine will automatically assign a class for your network - in this case
"172_31_32" or "172_31_20". So you should be able to do the following

control:
  172_31_32::
    domain = ( "servers.mydomain.com" )

  172_31_20::
    domain = ( "dev.mydomain.com" )
