On my tiny little site dev and prod are exactly the same.  I'm the only
person changing stuff.

For a very large drupal based site where users, writers and admin(s) are
changing stuff I don't know what the solution is.  Possibly some db
synchronization scheme...  I haven't had to deal with that yet.

These folks have a pretty high profile client list.  They have probably
figured it out.  http://acquia.com/customers

What would you suggest for a cms that makes the dev - test - prod cycle
easy?  Why?  (I wish to copy them!)

Thanks,
