Multi-DB support just got checked in to Django (for v1.2) - here are the docs

If you're interested, you can view the full 2.8 MB changeset here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2434252/2009/multidb.txt

The ticket that tracked the feature (opened way back in 2006) is here: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/1142

Wow, strange. I am not even sure how to design a system that could only support a single database connection for each request.

Was wondering why it was such a big changeset, then realized a good chunk of that is fixtures for tests.

This is so awesome that I just donated $25 to Django Software Foundation. Thanks guys!!
