Another idea which you could suggest for test environments is the following:
* Having separate FQDNs for test and prod such as *.test.company.com
and *.prod.company.com

We've done this in fact and it's useful for permissions and ACLs.

We've had some pushback from the devs in the past, the solution was another layer. They have dev servers, which have their tools and whatnot, and QA servers, which are very close copies of the live servers. They're all on one VM and the MS licenses are covered by MSDN so the additional cost isn't outrageous and it keeps everyone happy.
