Thats similar, but doesn't require you to create another filter, which has to be pre-processed.. you could also define some settings in the settings file, and use symfony’s already defined production / test / development settings, by defining which index it hits..

Env's are for separating if I want a debug toolbar to show up or not. But for preproduction testing (or deploying on multiple servers in a cluster), its not feasible to have a dev and prod config for all permutations. The solution I found is the following: - On all but the most default dev setup, I need to place a file with a unique identifier for the server (or application setup) in a file in the root dir of the symfony app - This file is read inside the index.php (frontend_dev.php etc) and is put into a constant - Now inside my yml files I simply add some PHP code that checks this constant and echo's the proper setting out in the yml file This approach as the advantage of leverging the yml file cache instead of adding another filter, which is a significant overhead. In theory I could also cache the contents of the file that identifies the application setup. I guess I could also put something into the .htaccess file or the vhost setting Yeah, different env’s are not what you want. Env’s are for separating if I want a debug toolbar to show up or not.

For me the above approach become more attractive because i also wanted to define constants in a filter, so the effort was about the same.
