Hello Drupalworld!
Would it make sense to use the multisite setup to keep administration modules out of the production site?
I am thinking of having mysite.com and admin.mysite.com with a shared codebase and database, but added modules for administration for admin.mysite.com.
Will that reduce the load on the production site? How could I measure this on a shared host?
What do I have to watch out for? Any further recommendations?
Kind regards,
Frank

If they are truly admin
If they are truly admin modules then it shouldn't make a difference. You accessing the site w/ them on at another location will still bring the same load / performance reduction to the site/server overall. Probably depends on what modules you are using but drupal won't load ones that it doesn't have to so if the majority of your users aren't using those modules there shouldn't be a problem.
You could maybe do that for security purposes I guess if you had the user base setup differently and shared everything except the system table. This way other users couldn't even get to the admin stuff in your site cause there would be no admin-like role.
Dono, seems kinda specific and unnessecary to do this imho.
