If you need different web.config versions then it's worth looking at using web.config transformations :
http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/deployment/visual-studio-web-deployment/web-config-transformations

Especially useful if there are only a few differences (e.g connection strings etc.).. It's preferable to maintaining individual .configs in that you have a 'master' copy - if you change that then any changes will propagate to other versions (unless they've been overwritten)
