This behaviour was a wart in 0.91 (I realise that is what Paul is
using). In the development version, the link generated has been fixed so
that it now says /admin/r/... and the url configuration in the admin
module automatically has this.
The result is that -- in the latest code -- providing you define
get_absolute_url() in your model, you get "view on site" with no extra
work and no longer have to add something to your global urls.py.
"View on site" is pretty handy even in non-multiple-site set ups. If I
am fixing a record's entry, it is nice to get this shortcut to see the
edited version on the website. Nothing huge, just saves a couple of
mouse clicks and all for no effort.
Best wishes,
Malcolm
