Very nice! I wonder, how a typical server separation is done?

I assume, that normally one has two systems:

 A. An ERP system in the company, probably with no direct
    internet access, but only accessible from approved clients.
    If the internet connection to the outside world breaks, one
    can still use the ERP, because its local. You may have data
    in the ERP that you would not (be allowed to) copy to
    servers outside of the company.

 B. A CMS in a data center with public internet connection. This
    contains all the public information, but only the absolute
    minimum of client data, so that the damage of someone
    copying the database would be limited. If the companies
    internet connection breaks, the CMS is still visible to the
    world.

How is this implemented in OpenERP? Is synchronisation between
both systems done on request or in regular intervals? How do you
make sure, that no sensitive data from the ERP ever gets to the
CMS, which is exposed to the world? Per table? Per application?

TIA!
