Managing ASA5510 using ASDM via internal interface

Question

Hello
I am currently managing an ASA5510 using ASDM through the management port but I would like to manage the ASA through the internal port.
My concern is that I thought I remembered reading someplace that if you setup an internal port for management that it can't be used for anything else.  Is this correct?
I only configured one internal port and it is the path to my LAN.  I would hate to configure the port for management only to find that I disconnected my firewall from my internal network in the process.  Can I use my one and only configured internal port for both ASA management and route from my LAN thru the ASA firewall?
I currently have the management port set to 192.168.1.1 and my internal interface is 10.1.1.1.  If I open ASDM and connect thru the management port and select Configuration/Device Management/Management  Access/ASDM/HTTPS/Telnet/SSH
select "ADD"
select access type "ASDM/HTTPS"
select interface "internal"
IP Address   "10.1.1.0"
Mask       "255.255.255.0"
Will that give me access to ASA management thru my internal network but cripple my network access to the ASA? 
Sorry if this is confusing... I don't know how else to phrase it.
Thanks
Ed

Hi
it sounds like a better plan than opening up for each and every unit on the inside :).
But if you have a old laptop or something like that I would state that setting that up with a syslog server and use that to manage the firewall would be a even better option.
that way you would get logs and a management station.
there are several syslog servers that are free and I like to use grep that is also free to filter information.
http 10.1.1.52 255.255.255.255 inside
will make the 10.1.1.52 the only server to work with asdm
but you will have to remove the old http 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside statement.
If you find the answers helpful please rate.
good luck
