app_server is supposed to hold all your machine and site dependent code, mostly
constants. For example, if your development site uses the datasource "DevDB" and your
live site uses
"LiveDB", you would have a line in your app_server that says
<CFSET request.mainDSN = "DevDB">
or LiveDB for the live server. That way when you move code to a new machine, there's
only one file to worry about.
