I am about to setup a foreman smart-proxy in a network where the hosts will
not be able to reach foreman directly - a segmented network, if you look at
the diagram in the manual:
<http://theforeman.org/static/images/foreman_architecture.png>
I was trying to find a guide for this, but i couldn't. Can anyone tell me
how. I know the smart-proxy needs to be able to communicate to foreman, but
what modules do i need? Dns, tftp, dhcp… anything else?

Since 1.7, there is a template feature, which allows the proxy to act as
the provisioning source (e.g. your kickstart, preseed etc), this was the
missing piece for full disconnected implementation.

I have now setup foreman with a "remote" proxy, and on the remote network
second network, which does not have connection to foreman i want machines
to provision from. As for now they can get tftp start and the debian
installer comes up, but i get the errror that it tries to get information
from the foreman host which is not the plan… So how do i set it up from
here? You are talking about a template feature… WHere do i find that?
So what i am aiming cannot be done with 1.6.2?
Do you know when 1.7 will be released?

It can be done if you can live without provisioning until then. You can
configure your hosts with Puppet and the proxy in a segmented network in
1.6.2, and manage DHCP/DNS from Foreman, provisioning would not work.
Redirecting to Google Groups 1.7.0 RC1
was released 2 days ago
The soft schedule for the release lives here:
http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/Foreman_17_Schedule
It'd help us immensely if you start setting this up and encounter any bugs
that apply to your setup so we can get a solid final release 
So what i am aiming cannot be done with 1.6.2?
Do you know when 1.7 will be released?

Are you using the 1.7.0RC1 version of the proxy? If so, you can find an
example of the configuration file for the templates part of the proxy here

I did set that up with the template_url, but in the default pxe template i
can see this:
ppend initrd=<%= @initrd %> interface=auto url=<%=
foreman_url('provision')%> which means that it is still looking for foreman
to get the preconfiguration file, and that fails since they are not on the
same network? Do i need to go through provisioning setup again?
PXE templates are written when the host is put into build mode, so if you
set up the templates feature after creating the host, you'll need to cause
Foreman to rewrite it. Simply go to the Host page, click Cancel Build, and
then click it again (now labelled just Build) to re-enable it.
You can also verify what Foreman will write to the tftp server from the
Host page - click the Templates tab, then Review next to the PXE template
to see the rendered version for that host.
