Offsite puppet errors

Looking for suggestions as to how to handle this.  When a user's laptop is 
offsite, it cannot connect to the puppet server so I get the following 
logwatch report:

--------------------- Puppet Begin ------------------------

  Failed runs: 47

  **Unmatched Entries**
  (/File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]) Could not evaluate: getaddrinfo: Name or 
service not known Could not retrieve file metadata for 
puppet://puppet/plugins: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known: 47 Time(s)

  ---------------------- Puppet End -------------------------


Which I basically want to ignore.  The full set of puppet logs are:

Jul 25 10:22:48 moa puppet-agent[1404]: (/File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]) Failed to 
generate additional resources using 'eval_generate': getaddrinfo: Name or 
service not known
Jul 25 10:22:48 moa puppet-agent[1404]: (/File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]) Could not 
evaluate: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Could not retrieve file 
metadata for puppet://puppet/plugins: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
Jul 25 10:22:50 moa puppet-agent[1404]: Could not retrieve catalog from remote 
server: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
Jul 25 10:22:50 moa puppet-agent[1404]: Using cached catalog
Jul 25 10:22:50 moa puppet-agent[1404]: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

Thoughts?  Perhaps a configuration variable "ignore_failed_connections" or 
some such?
