Thanks for the help :-) overriding queryset in modeladmin worked for the filtering.
as for the subclassing of the model.. I've basically got a table with lots of columns ex.[a,b,c,d,e,f,g...] I would like to have one admin page show a,b,c,d and another that shows a,b,c,f,g based (ideally) on a boolean column in the table. If anyone has a quick idea on how to accomplish that one i would be most appreciative.
