At the moment, this is not possible, as Django always uses the default
manager when doing the reverse lookup on foreign keys (as well as when
doing lookups in many-to-many relations).
However, there is a patch currently pending review in ticket #3871 [1]
which makes it possible to select which manager instead of the default
manager is used in these lookups.
As I wrote the last iteration of this patch myself, I cannot review it
myself. If you feel confident, please have a look at it and mark it as
"ready for check-in" if you think it is.
Otherwise please head over to <django-developers@googlegroups.com> and
present your use-case there, hopefully finding somebody who can take a
look at the latest progress in ticket #3871.
Regards,
Sebastian.
