Given myapp and a dependency, specified by dub.json's:

How do I specify (in myapp: dub.json) that I want the "config_a"
configuration of dependency_a?

I just want to verify, you are using configurations only to determine if 
its being built a certain way?
And not lets say as a subpackage?

Ignoring that, there is something called subConfigurations section.

Example from: http://code.dlang.org/package-format
{
        ...
        "name": "somepackage"
        "configurations": [
                {
                        "name": "metro-app",
                        "targetType": "executable",
                        "platforms": ["windows"],
                        "versions": ["MetroApp"],
                        "libs": ["d3d11"]
                },
                {
                        "name": "desktop-app",
                        "targetType": "executable",
                        "platforms": ["windows"],
                        "versions": ["DesktopApp"],
                        "libs": ["d3d9"]
                },
                {
                        "name": "glut-app",
                        "targetType": "executable",
                        "versions": ["GlutApp"]
                }
        ]
}
