This is somewhat off topic, but if you don't want to put settings like this
in every directory's Application.cfm, just set up your Application.cfm files
to cascade. Then you can abstract things up to a single place:
/Application.cfm
----------------
<cfset request.dsn = "asdf" />
<cfif cgi.remote_addr EQ "1.1.1.1">
<cfset path = "dev/" />
<cfelse>
<cfset path = "prod/" />
</cfif>
<!--- global application variables --->
/users/Application.cfm
----------------------
<cfinclude template="../Application.cfm" />
<!--- user directory specific app variables --->
/products/Application.cfm
-------------------------
<cfinclude template="../Application.cfm" />
<cfset request.catalog_dsn = "whatever" />
/products/order/Application.cfm
-------------------------
<cfinclude template="../Application.cfm" />
<cfset request.payment_gateway = "1.1.1.2" />
