Refer to this post on how to play around with the routers

DATABASE_ROUTERS = ['CustomDatabaseRouter',] #a setting that Django understands.

class CustomDatabaseRouter(object):

  def db_for_read(self, model, **hints):
     site_name = get_current_site()
     if site_name  in ['site1']:
         return 'db1'
     if site_name in ['site2']:
        return 'db2'
     return 'default'

  def db_for_write(self, model, **hints):
     site_name = get_current_site()
     if site_name  in ['site1']:
         return 'db1'
     if site_name in ['site2']:
        return 'db2'
     return 'default'

  def allow_syncdb(self, model, **hints):
     site_name = get_current_site()
     if site_name in ['site1'] and db == 'db1':
         return True
     if site_name in ['site2'] and db == 'db2':
        return True
     return False
