Running puppet agent -t
from a non-dns resolvable client dumps out the following from a puppet master running in verbose mode:
Error: Could not resolve 10.110.x.xx: no name for 10.110.x.xx
(Where 10.110.x.xx is the ip of my puppet agent machine)
Does a puppet agent also need to be DNS resolvable?

This is one of the prerequisites before deploying Puppet (in a master/node setup), see https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/install_puppet/pre_install.html#check-your-network-configuration:
