People are starting to do development work and to run test instances. 

We need a banner on the live production instance that clearly indicates that it's the live one, and we need a single place to switch it on and off, so that development / test instances that run against a different database can switch it off. 

Maybe a banner that is switchable between red "This is the live production instance" and green "This is a test development instance"

I am going to start producing builds of a Skynet appliance for people to play with, so I'd like to be able to flick a switch in the source code, and then export a war that announces: "I'm not running against the production database".

The  banner needs to be on all pages. 

I can imagine a scenario where someone has a dev instance and the prod instance open in browser windows, and gets confused about which is which, and runs some massive tagging query against the production dataset.....
