db question

Tony, Marten, Daniel,

Do you guys have a way of having a test database system living decoupled from
a production database system on the same machine?  We have a test.db database
set up which we can query with 'whois -s TESTRR' and add data to by setting
the 'source' attribute to TESTRR.  The problem comes when running cleandb - 
it checks for conflicts by looking at the guardian files named in
~/etc/asdir and mails out conflict notices to real people about problems
it thinks it's found.  But actually the problems are bogus 'cause it's 
comparing production guardian files to test data.

Does this make sense?

Any thoughts would be great!

Thanks a lot.

Andy
