I have to disagree strongly with your point 6. I'm working on a large app at the moment where all hostnames are the same regardless of environment, and the only way to switch envs is via a proxy. It's a massive pain. Keep environments mostly similar, but always make sure you can configure locations of the app itself and its various external resources separately on staging, test and development platforms.

One of our projects works like this, it sucks. For per-host app location, we set X-HTTP-Script-Name in the nginx location block and extracted it in WSGI middleware like http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/35/ http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/35/ Everything else is hardcoded to use 'http://localhost/service_name/foo http://localhost/service_name/foo & nginx proxies to the appropriate resource. Obviously, this doesn't work for non-HTTP services!
