The solution we took was to write a global configuration file and share
connection data as need. This way it only needs to be changed in one place.
Furthermore, if you connect as follows:
dbi:mysql:host=db_01;database=database_name
and then on your client machine, either via bind or the /etc/hosts file,
point the db_01 host name to the IP of your database server. I've been
doing this for some time, works very well.
Hope this helps,

Subject: binding a domain name to a MySQL instance
Is there any way to bind something other than the hostname to a MySQL
instance?
I'm going to be moving a database from one server to another, and would
like the scripts that reference that data to simply talk to
db.mydomain.com, rather than have to reconfigure things during launch.
Is this possible?
