I haven't used Rackspace, but i would assume (hope) they support
remote mounting.

I would use sshfs to mount the Rackspace server on your local drive
(on the Django server) and reference that in MEDIA_ROOT

e.g.

sshfs usern...@my.rackspace.domain:/path/to/rackspace/home/dir /mnt/
rackspace

change MEDIA_ROOT to

MEDIA_ROOT = '/mnt/rackspace/'

and MEDIA_URL

MEDIA_URL = 'my.rackspace.domain'
