The technique I use is "site <-> db <-> admin". Most installations have
had the admin simply in a subfolder. In one case, we had to publish to
a live site, but this was fairly easy to do by having a syncronization
step whenever content went live. The sync process copied any files and
indicated that files were uploaded successfully and transferred any
database content. The downfall is that any changes to the database
structure had to be done in two places. 

Anyways, as others have mentioned, having admin and site on the same
machine is a very common setup among CMSs.
