settings.py isn't executed for every request, just when the Django
process starts - and it doesn't have access to any http information.
Instead, this sounds like a job for middleware. Create a custom
middleware class defining the process_request method, and in that
module import your settings (from django.conf import settings). The
method is passed the request object, from which you can get the header
information you need, then you can set individual settings.* items on
a per-request basis.
