isolated switch using private vlans

I have a 3560 switch configured with a primary and isolated vlans. the machines that are connected to the "isolated" ports can not talk to each other but can talk to machines that are connected to "promiscous" ports. This is all layer 2. However I also at the same time want to be able to telnet to this switch from our internal network to this switch. Since this switch is not part of our VTP domain since its supposed to be isolated is there a way to designate one port on there, either a SVI or one of the physical ports, to be accessible from our internal network without breaking the private vlans?
 
Sure, just create a layer 3 port (no switchport), give it an IP and plug it into one of your normal switches. If you want to make doubly sure that no routing can happen across that interface, also apply an ACL permitting only telnet/ssh.
