For changing front/backside behaviour, you should use the Geometry>>Backfacing. It will output 1 when the face is hitted on the backside, so in your setup, if you subtract that value from 1, and multiply the result with the LayerWeight value before plugging it into the MixShader, it will block the glossy shader to be executed on backfaces.
