Can you not also do this with a single configuration file but configuring multiple clusters which the user can choose with the -M option? I suppose it depends on the use case; if you want to be able to choose a dev cluster over the production one, to test new config options, then the environment variable approach makes sense. If this is actually multiple clusters that the users are using in production, then the -M approach might work better?

Is there an env variable in SLURM to tell where the slurm.conf is? We would like to have on the same client node, 2 type of possible submissions to address 2 different cluster.

According to man sbatch:

SLURM_CONF The location of the Slurm configuration file.
