Hi David,
I am not sure I quite understood your use case, but here's an idea:
You may point you datasources to a local host address defined in
/etc/hosts (for example: "geoserverdatabase"), preferably one that is
not resolvable by your internal dns.
To change between demo/staging/live db servers, you just have to
change the address that your "geoserverdatabase" server points to in
/etc/hosts, without changes to your application code or geoserver
configuration.
I have just tested this here and it works.
Best,
Daniel
