Custom Environmental Settings Is it possible to use custom environmental settings with Craft?

I have separate web services that I use in production and development environments. I would like to programmatically point to the appropriate service based on my environment. If I am in development, I should always point to the dev service...production...to the production service.

The documentation leads me to believe that I can only use the settings that Craft provides.

How can I use custom environmental settings within Craft?
Yes it's absolutely possible, and available out of the box with craft.

In your public/index.php file you specify the different environments based on your server name.

With the environment set, inside your craft/config/db.php and craft/config/general.php files, you can create different configurations for each environment.

This article in the craft documentation goes over how to configure it. Let me know if you have any trouble, it's really just modifying those three files.
