multiple env's + combine dynamic and static inventory + same group_vars/host_vars

Hi,

I have the following inventory structure:

inventory
├── development
├── group_vars
│ └── all
│ └── group

├── host_vars
│ ├── host
└── production
├── gce.py
└── production # static hosts

So the development env is a simple static file, the production env is a combo of dynamic and static hosts.

The problem here is that (due to the production directory), the production env searches the group_vars and host_vars in the production directory (relative to the inventory files).
But then I have to duplicate my group_vars and host_vars

I could solve this with symlinks, but this is kinda ugly.

Is there a better way?
