The benefit of the method described in the Clustering docs is that you pull the configuration out of the war file, and make it host specific, and you can roll the same war file to all servers in the cluster. If in cas.properties, you need custom war files per server. (The var name doesn't matter, as long as it's referenced in uniqueIdGenerator.xml)
