A common issue with Web applications is that applications are managed in various environments. Aside from development environments, you may have test servers, staging servers, live production servers, and potentially warm backup servers. If you store selected Web configuration sections in a central location (such as a central file share or a central configuration database), you have a more manageable solution and, depending on how you implement this, a more secure solution as well.
