 Finally, the `redirect_to(target, *args, **kwargs)` function is a shortcut for redirecting to the absolutized result of `path_to()`. It will raise an HTTP exception, and thus immediately break out of the current code.
 
+=== Rerouting Generated URLs ===
+
+The routing can be configured to reroute certain routes to different URLs for URL generation. For example, you could set up a static resource directory to be rerouted to one or more different host name.
+
+{{{
+#!python
+app.routing.reroute('media',
+    lambda filename=None: 'http://static.example.com/%s' % filename
+)
+}}}
+
+This only has effect on URL generation. If the route is setup to also handle incoming requests, they will still be matched and processed as before.
