I only skimmed most of the earlier stuff. I suppose there could  
possibly be some dynamic configuration management based on the host.  
It might have to be a plugin if it sits in the top of the request cycle.

Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigPerHost ...
# load configuration variables by the c->req->uri->host

Then in config (YAML style)

Plugin::ConfigPerHost:
   my.host.com: config stuff
   your.host.com:
        config_file: ...?

...or allow your.host.com.(conf|yml) to just work?

No idea if that's a good tack though.
