Modify apache config files on start


In my test environments I'm using variables for the basic apache configs. In my init.d startup script I just export some variables like:
Code:
ENVT=test
Then in the apache config files I have values like:
Code:
ServerName www.${ENVT}.abc.com
This is working fine however I'm a bit stumped as to how I can have that variable removed when it comes to production where it should be just www.abc.com. Is there a way I can modify my startup script to run a sed command on the file to load into memory instead of actually modifying the copy on disk? The sed command below works; I just need to figure out if it's possible to have the apache config files modified before the binary reads them. Feels like something fairly simple I'm missing, but maybe not.

Code:
if [ ${ENVT} == prod ]; then
 `/bin/sed -r 's/\.\$\{ENVT\}//g' /apps/httpd/conf.d/*.conf`
fi

Use an external file - if it exists use ". <path>testserver.conf" to include it.

If it doesn't exist, use the host name and set the parameter.
