Just looking for some guidance here on how to implement this concept in "Django fashion". 

I am using dbsettings to define site level variables. On each request I want to check one of my site level variables and render a different response based on the value of that variable. 

Now I realize I could easily accomplish this just by adding a simple if statement in each of my view functions, but I thought there may be a way I could apply this at a higher level?

Let me know if there is a way to "globalize" this functionality across all requests. Thanks.
