I'm splitting up one of my larger apps and introducing a 'cdn' url to house common objects like CSS, javascript, and images to avoid duplication. What I need to do, though, is have separate URLs for our dev environments, so I may have:

http://cdn-dev.example.com

http://cdn-qua.example.com

http://cdn.example.com

depending on what environment we're working in. I can get this to work for things that are generated by our PHP code, but I'm at a loss for the .css and .js files that will be called. For example, how do I make something like:

.cool-button { background-image: url('http://cdn.example.com/images/button.png'); }

switch between the different domains?

What's the best way to deal with that?

[EDIT]

Just so everyone is clear, the CDN address is a different domain that the site. So, the dev site might be http://www-dev.domain.com which would use http://cdn-dev.domain.com
