Unity games: Best practices for setting up a config file

I am working on a Unity game that uses AssetBundles and can be published to both iOS and Android devices. I also have three dev environments where I publish the builds for internal testing. To grab the files from the assetbundle server, I have five different base URLs to pull from, depending on the environment.

I want to externalize the base URL so that I don't have to keep making a new build for each environment. What would be the best practice to externalize config settings? Is there one?

If you want to be able to change the base URL without redeploying the project, I think your best shot is to use some intermediate URL.

You may require the bundle from some www.mygame.com/bundle/platform who will download the right file whenever needed.

You can also read the base URL from a classic file using Stream. You can then edit the file to change the URL without rebuilding the whole project.
