You can use different settings.php files for each environment via Drupal's multisite capabilities. See http://drupal.org/node/516608 On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 1:43 PM, John Fiala <jcfiala@gmail.com> wrote:

For java webapps within Apache Tomcat I use a web.xml file which contains the global variables that are specific to that server so that the production server will have one web.xml file and the test server will have a different web.xml file.
How can I do something similar for global variables that vary depending on the server (i.e. production, test, demo) within Drupal?
Well, I usually put those in the setting.php files. For one thing, anything you set as $conf['blah'] in settings.php will then be the value when the code does variable_get('blah') later on.
