What I usually do (EL based systems):

1) modify the init script to use $0 to identify instance
2) use $0 to load different defaults e.g. /etc/sysconfig/$0
3) create symlinks of the init script for multiple instances
   e.g. syslog-ng.prod -> syslog-ng
        syslog-ng.dev  -> syslog-ng

If you need more details, I can happily be of assistance
but maybe privately, as this is probably out of the scope of this ML

Cheers
