Description
URL resolving will be unstable if more than one DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is referenced within a vhost (for example, in different locations) due to mod_python caching. This should be documented in the mod_python doc.

I believe this can be addressed by using mod_python's PythonInterpreter directive.  This can force mod_python to use seperate python interpreter instances.  For example:
<Location "/">
    SetHandler python-program
    PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
    SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings.main
    ...
    PythonInterpreter mysite.main
</Location>
<Location "/admin">
    SetHandler python-program
    PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
    SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings.admin
    ...
    PythonInterpreter mysite.admin
</Location>
This configuration seems to work for me.  The PythonInterpreter directive is documented at http://www.dusek.ch/manual/apache/mod_python/dir-other-pi.html.
