Serving media using views are very inefficient, but I`m facing the
same problem; how to serve media using better suited servers like
nginx for media but still having some way of checking
permissions/authentication etc. ??

I`m working on a project similar to Windows Home Server, where users
can upload and backup their media and access it through a web
interface. Serving static media using django was terrible and using
nginx was incredibly fast, but I lost all access control to the static
media.

Any help on this subject would be highly appreciated.
