These are all web apps were talking about. And remember, .config files are 
hierarchal in .NET and evaluated at run time. So, if I have http://svr/ar and 
http://svr/oe as two virtual directories in the root. Then I can have the 
global services defined in the root's web.config once for both apps and then 
just override them as needed in the sub web.configs.

I'm not familiar (in detail) with JNDI, but as I see it, the problem would not 
be solved with a central entity becase how would the central entity know which 
url (prod, test, dev) to pass back. If the application asked for the test vs. 
production version then the app would have to be aware of how it's being used. 
Ideally the problem would be solved with something like a library list, just 
use the web service you find in the list. Let the admins worry about how to 
structure that. The closest I've come is the web.config file, but as I said 
it's not perfect.

Yup.
