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! Tom

As a SWAG I would create a module foo within the sites/all/modules/foo directory and use http://api.drupal.org/api/function/variable_set/ within the .install file to create them. I assume that you want the same variables for each site. You can then use the admin/settings/foo form to set specific site values.
