[ILUG] selective symlinks?

[ILUG] selective symlinks?

I know this is going to get me...

I have two directories that are identical apart from one file.  This file
exists with the same name in both directories but with different contents.
Now, my problem is this.  I want to symlink one directory to the other but I
need this file to be different depending on which directory I'm in.  This
has then to become a CDROM.  Is my only option to create the second
directory and, within that directory, symlink all the identical files and
just keep a copy of the different file?  I suspect so but I'd like to be
sure.
