Thank you for your help and explanation!  Unfortunately it confirms that I 
cannot use Zend_Config in my application.  I think it solves a very rare use 
case.  

The recurring example is of a production and a development environment.  Maybe 
inheritance of settings is helpful in a scenario where one as only one 
production and one development server.  In my case however I have many 
development servers and many production servers.  Settings are configured 
with build scripts (Ant) and then possibly modified by the end user.

Does anyone know where the current design of Zend_Config was inspired from?  I 
wasn't able to find any discussion on the specification of Zend_Config.  Any 
pointers?


Thanks and regards,
Horst
