Hi Xina, The short answer is "not easily, and not within Django".
Django's DB Routers don't contain any detail about the request, so there's no ability to geolocated the requesting IP for routing purposes. For the record, this is because Django is a general purpose toolkit - there's no guarantee that a request to access the DB has come as a result of a HTTP request - it might come from a standalone script, which won't have an IP address. So - you'll need to look further up the stack to do this sort of routing. My suggestion would be to look at the web server level. The simplest approach would be to deploy multiple "versions" of your app on different subdomains - "asia.example.com, us.example.com, europe.example.com", and rely on users to pick the right domain. Each version would be running exactly the same code - but they would each have a different settings file, pointing to the asia database, us database and so on. A more complex approach would be to use IP-based routing at the web server. NginX has plugins like GeoIP to redirect traffic based on the IP of the requesting user. In this configuration, you'd still have multiple servers, but the NginX server would be directing traffing from the root "example.com" to the right geolocated server.
