Hi, i am playing with node.js for a little while now and ran in an issue i 
want to adress. For this i would like to get some advice.

First: I'm building a website (it is more a test-project where i'd like to 
test and learn some things, so it is okay for me if i "overcomplicate" 
things). On the website there is also a blog. I also build a little admin 
interface. The admin interface will be its own node.js app. So i have the 
website and website-admin as two independent projects.

I use express.js and mongoose.

The "Problem": 
I tried to share the models of the website with the admin but this does not 
work. If i try to get some data in the admin via the websites models, i do 
not get any reaction from mongoose, not even an error. As i read somewhere 
the models cannot be shared between apps. One option would be to copy the 
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 
api with restify.js. So the website and the admin can use the api and i 
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 ;).

Is there a better way to share the models if i want to separate the admin 
and the website as its own node-apps? Does this sound stupid to you? Why?

Best regards
Manuel
