.. [#fndist] This limitation does not apply to PostGIS 1.5. It should be noted that even in previous versions of PostGIS, this isn't impossible using GeoDjango; you could for example, take a known point in a projected coordinate system, buffer it to the appropriate radius, and then perform an intersection operation with the buffer transformed to the geographic coordinate system.
