We've got a couple of cases in our current PHP libraries that we're trying to find equivalents for in Django. Here are a few scenarios we have currently to pull media (mostly videos) from different places depending on the user or user preferences...
1. During development and testing we host the website on our LAN but may push a version out to the public on our colocated servers and serve the media up via Akamai. On our public facing servers if the user is a user recognized as being a part of our company, we just pull the media off our LAN for both speed and to save some money on the Akamai bill. 2. We also ship users what we call a "web enabled CD". The CD simply contains a lightweight web server and its only job is to serve up media content on localhost. The idea being like a CD based Akamai -- if the user is on dial up, they can log in to our web site and we pass in a GET variable saying to use the media off of localhost and they will get the same end user experience as if they had a broadband connection. None of our web site content is on the CD except the videos, but the HTML our website outputs references the video's location as http://localhost/video/filename.mov for example. Are these two scenarios possible in Django?
