Hi Michael,

Are you able to reproduce the problem on your vagrant machine?

The virtual machine I created on digital ocean used your exact same puppet
scripts, except instead of vagrant running them, I ran them directly with
puppet apply. I spent a few more hours trying to get Vagrant to work and I
wasn't successful.

Two of us have tried to reproduce  the problem you've been facing and
failed to replicate it. From our records, it looks as though you have about
half a day of support time remaining, which we feel would be much better
spent with us having access to directly debug the problem on your server.
What do you think?

If you would like us to try another time using the Vagrant/Puppet approach,
we can quote for this, although, we both feel this will be a red herring,
as previous attempts haven't let us reproduce them. If you would like us to
go ahead and look at your servers, you can find my ssh public key attached.
