The maintenance nightmare is the requirement. Pay attention.

Maintenance Nightmare because you have too many connection files to keep track of. What happens if you overwrite one. Plus, you can only keep one copy of the connection file in source safe. It would be better, simpler, and easier to maintain if you're application would "sense" the environment, then select the appropriate environment specific configuration section. This means you only need one configuration file with sections and settings for each environment.
