Tests that include MockViews fail.

I have some testcases in which i make use of a MockView to test my custom authentication classes.

class MockView(APIView):
    permission_classes = (permissions.IsAuthenticated,)

    def get(self, request):
        return HttpResponse({'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3})

    def post(self, request):
        return HttpResponse({'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3})

    def put(self, request):
        return HttpResponse({'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3})


urlpatterns = [
    url(
        r'^organisationauth/$',
        MockView.as_view(authentication_classes=[SymmetricOrganisationJWTAuth])
    ),
    url(
        r'^appauth/$',
        MockView.as_view(authentication_classes=[SymmetricApplicationJWTAuth])
    ),
]

To use this mocks i had to use the override_settings decorator:

@override_settings(ROOT_URLCONF='mysite.tests.test_auth')
class OrganiationSymmetricKeyTest(APITestCase):
...

After installing and configuring django-hosts that override doesn't seem to work anymore: AssertionError: 404 != 403

All other tests pass. Any idea?

Of course i can override other settings like INSTALLED_APPS and MIDDLEWARE for these tests. But i am not quite sure whether this is a good approach.
