Im not sure what your questions/problems are? I have used an xml config file for a while now and its not difficult. Are you asking how to work with xml or is it more of an architecture question?
If you have one set of datasources and other resources that multiple sites and systems will be using, and you have a site/system that is managing those resources, that is where your xml config files need to be. If all systems use the same information (thier config files will be the same) then just make one xml file, and put it out there. Are these systems on the same machine? If not then you do have other security concerns (you dont want someone to figure out the url to the xml file and find out what all your datasources are named, etc). If that is a consideration, you may want to consider a webservice. Then you could have multiple functions, they read in the file, and each function tells you what a specific setting is. theres lots of ways to do all of this, but again, im not clear what your'e asking. > Can we please get some more input on this topic guys?
