I guess the main goal is to protect Umbraco admin area. You can do that with rewrite rules. I presume that your website in IIS already has two bindings: www.example.com and admin.example.com. Add this rules into your web.config:

<rules>
    <rule name="redirect to umbraco" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="^$" />
        <conditions>
            <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^admin.example.com$" />
        </conditions>
        <action type="Redirect" url="umbraco" />
    </rule>
    <rule name="close umbraco from public" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="^umbraco(.*)" />
        <conditions>
            <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^admin.example.com$" negate="true" />
        </conditions>
        <action type="CustomResponse" statusCode="403" statusReason="Forbidden" />
    </rule>
    <rule name="redirect non umbraco to public" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="^umbraco(.*)" negate="true" />
        <conditions>
            <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^admin.example.com$" />
            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
        </conditions>
        <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.example.com{REQUEST_URI}" />
    </rule>
</rules>

This rules will:

1) Redirect from admin.example.com to admin.example.com/umbraco

2) Close /umbraco* urls if you will try to access it from www.example.com domain.

3) Redirect all urls other than /umbraco* from domain admin.example.com to www.example.com
