Regarding putting the stuff in /parameters - the .ini files - under CVS, and requiring different .ini files for your three servers: this is a darn good reason to use Tcl configuration files in AOLserver 3.0 instead of .ini files. Then config file can use Tcl to determine whether it's a production, dev, or staging server (based on an environment variable, or the server home, etc.), and use the appropriate config values.
