I've always though that this particular -- and common -- use case  
should be delegated to the DB level using one of the many excellent  
replication/distribution tools for your database.  For example, you  
could easily do read distribution with pg_pool or sqlrelay, and it  
would be transparent to Django.  I don't see a good reason to tackle  
replication in Django itself as that's more or less a solved problem.
