You need a check valve inline shortly before the beer engine to stop the beer flowing back into your corny, and ideally a cask aspirator in the gas line. The aspirator just keeps a layer of co2 (aprox 1-2psi) to stop it spoiling regardless of what pressure is set on your reg. I don't have an aspirator but my check valve holds back 5psi (not tried higher) so I just give it a squirt of co2 after every few pints.
I hope that helps a little.
