Architecting for security

Hi,

I am developing a site for a customer who is very paranoid about security.

In order to provide an extra level of security I am considering splitting the admin interface from the main app and developing it as a completely independent CI project but have them both work on the same database.

I can then hide the entire admin app behind an additional layer of web server authentication (root directory password/ip and mac address filtering/etc..).

The admin app not only has to provide an interface for the admin team to manage the data but also run independent daily cron jobs for billing and data management.

I am wondering if this is actually a good idea and if anyone has any experience of it or even better any recommendations for me.

Thanks for listening.

Al.

having made the mistake of splitting admin panel and main site as 2 different apps, i would reiterate @umefarooq advice on the following the first link, specifically option 3.
