> First: I'm building a website (it is more a test-project where i'd like to

> models into the admin-app. But i do not really like this approach.

> What i want to do:
> So i am thinking to separate the models and whole db into a third app. An

> would only have the models in one place. The glue between all would be
> node-proxy (somehow, i am not exactly sure how to do this right now ;).
