Ah - this is possibly the source of confusion. Django's Routers can shard to different databases, but not to different tables in the same database. Why do you want to shard into different *tables*? The usual interpretation of sharding (at least, the usual interpretation that *I'm* familiar with) is to shard into different *databases*. I'm not sure I see what you gain by using different tables in the same database.
