Hey Scott, Welcome! Django doesn't support multiple DBs out of the box, but this is something we (Simon particularly) have been very keen on adding. Fortunately, the database code is rather nicely abstracted, so most of the refactoring would be in just two modules. To what extent would you be using multiple DBs? Would you be employing the technique whereby certain records (e.g. users 1 to 1,000,000) are in certain databases, or would you be doing more of a standard setup, in which you'd want database reads to be spread evenly across multiple DBs? Go ahead and explain the setup, and we can get started on designing the feature. > Also we'll need to write a baseline simple > db backed, captcha class near immediately to keep out the spam bots.

You might have a look at Ian Holsman's Django captcha app here: http://feh.holsman.net/articles/2005/12/15/django-captcha-app I haven't looked at the code myself, but it could be helpful.
