My solution is that I have a site-enabled nginx host listening on http://media.site/ which has a document root at say /var/www/site/.
I set my MEDIA_URL = http://media.site/. I import MEDIA_URL into views and send it to the template with say render_to_response(). So, in the stylesheet link for the template I can have href="{{MEDIA_URL}}nameofstylesheet.css" and just put the stylesheet in the document root of the static media server. I usually now make a symbolic link from a media/ subdirectory in my project folder to /var/ www/site. Hope that helps and if anyone knows if there is a cleaner way to accomplish I would be interested.
