I appreciate the feedback. I'll take a peek at the multi-db branch. If anyone is using it and can give a indication of the state, I'm interested.
Our site is organized exactly as you mention in 1) and it looks like that's the route we'll be going. So looks like there is no easy answer to my dynamic db settings. I'd be interested in the complex answer if anyone has one. Specifically for the command line tool we have. Editing the settings.py with a sed script seems so crude.
