The way to do it is to implement redirects where necessary. I have an
app that is public-facing on regular http. There are no comments or
logins, it is simply a presentation layer for what we add in the admin.
I have an apache redirect for /admin/* that redirects to the admin on an
instance of the site served over SSL. There is also a middleware that
exists so Django can handle the redirects. There are a few different
incarnations of it here: http://www.djangosnippets.org/tags/ssl/

Hopefully this is what you need!
