[support] Multi-Sites Question - Site Variables

[Tom Holmes Jr.]

Yes, I know one instance of Drupal can have multiple sites.   It is 
clearly documented ... no issue there.
I know it's about creating the right directories under the sites folder 
and moving settings.php to that directory.
Clearly, settings.php holds the 'site variables' to a site in a directory.
Please correct me if any of that is wrong ...

So, my question is .... we want to add a dozen new site variables for 
our sites.
I think the obvious thing to do would be add those custom variables to 
the settings.php file.
Is that the best way to go about it ... I didn't look yet, but are there 
custom modules out there that specifically deal with new site variables.

I mean, I am sure there are other ways to go about this ... but what way 
fits best in the Drupal module?
I think my first suggestion of putting them in the settings.php file is 
the most appropriate, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for any information or help!
