Hi Martin-
Yes, that is what that code would do... I guess I forgot about how context
processors work. :-P
I think most people do this type of thing with a round-robin server setup. If
you wanted to do it django-side, you'd probably need to do a template tag.
Note the callable...

random_media.py
-----------------------------
from django import template
from random import choice
register = template.Library()
def media_url():
media_urls = ['site1.example.com', 'site2.example.com',
'site3.example.com']
return choice(media_urls)
register.simple_tag(media_url)
in some template
------------------
{% load random_media %}
{% media_url %}

Subject: Re: Using array of URLs for MEDIA_URL
Steve,
Thanks for the answer.
If I understand correctly your idea and code, each template would have
only one value for the MEDIA_URL (randomly chosen from the array),
right?
What I was looking for was a way of distributing the value of the
MEDIA_URL uniformly along the values of an array, in each template. So
in a certain template the MEDIA_URL would have more than one value.
Maybe if I set it as a callable (with the logic that choses the values
inside it) that would work.
I cannot quite understand why there isn't anymore people running into
this issue.
Best and thanks again for the answer,
Martin
