Why not just ditch Apache entirely and just use Nginx for serving all
media (both static and dynamic)? You can then save quite a few resources
as you only need to run one HTTP server rather than two.

Using Nginx to serve Django content works well. Just serve your Django
application via FastCGI or uWSGI and you'll significantly simplify your
configuration and reduce RAM usage on your servers as well.
