[webservices] How to name a beta web service on the same system as a production service

In the web page:
https://seiscode.iris.washington.edu/projects/webserviceshell/wiki/Requirements_and_Recommendations
it provides recommendations on how to run a BETA service.
--------------------------------------
URL recommendations

URLs for production FDSN services should follow this format:

http://YourDomain/fdsnws/...

URLs for BETA FDSN services, if available, are recommended to follow this format:

http://YourDomain/fdsnwsbeta/...

Where '...' denotes the individual services (should they exist) that are supported at your data center, e.g. station, event, dataselect
--------------------------------------

However, using the IRIS Web Server Shell (wss), it appears that the
for 2 web service services named "foo" with version "1", eg:
	fdsnws/foo/1/
and 	fdsnwsbeta/foo/1/
the wss would use the SAME configuration files in tomcat's wss-config dir,
since the config files names include on the service name and version,
but NOT the domain (fdsnws vs fdsnwsbeta):
	foo-1-log4j.properties
	foo-1-param.cfg
	foo-1-service.cfg

We tried changing the version from 1 to beta1, but wss appears to be
unhappy with this.

Thanks for any suggestions.
