OK, fair enough.

OK, so in this scenario presumably the admin GUI would be on a different 
domain/IP but would still have to be at /admin.

i.e.
website would be at www.websitedomain.com
admin GUI at www.admindomain.com/admin

Do I understand correctly?

I just thought it would be nice if there was a simple way to move admin 
pages from:
www.websitedomain.com/admin
to say:
www.websitedomain.com/adminqwerty

Would it not be a good idea to have a variable e.g. UI_URL that could be set 
to the location adim GUI?  For example:

UI_URL    /adminqwerty
