Changing the IP address to a DNS address in the policy_server.dat for all=
=20
the clients worked nicely in my environment.

I did it using the following bundle:

bundle agent migrate_policy_server_dat
{
  files:
    "$(sys.workdir)/policy_server.dat"
      create =3D> "false",
      edit_line =3D> replace_policy_server_strings();
}

bundle edit_line replace_policy_server_strings
{
  replace_patterns:
    "192.0.2.10"
      replace_with =3D> string("cfhub01.example.com");
}

Thanks for all the help!
