This isn't a problem. Neither url nor reverse is capable of returning URLs with
hostnames,
at least not that I'm aware of. Only django.contrib.site[1] module can do this
for out-of-
band communications.
So if you're encountering such cases, then you're using custom or 3rd party
code or have a
hardcoded hostname in your templates or are using the site module.
There is no magic case where reverse or the url template tag decides to add a
hostname,
because it senses you want it. And if you just want to serve the exact same
site on a
different domain, then ALLOWED_HOSTS is all you need.
If you want to brand the site with a different look and feel, then you will
need the site
module, because then you will serve different content.
If you're asking "how can i be sure there are no mistakes in our code", then
you should
already know the answer - test, test, test :).
