I think I'd just use SSL rather than MD5 authentication.

Others have suggested mod_auth_pam. My concern with using
PAM, come to think of it, is that my client's site is using
virtual hosts. I don't want every shell user to have access
to every virtual host. For hackish reasons, shell users have
names like 'johnsmith-example-com' for user johnsmith on
host example.com. So:

1) Does anyone know whether mod_auth_pam would have the
   problem that I mentioned? And

2) Do mod_auth_mysql and mod_auth_ldap play nicely with
   virtual hosts?

I have literally zero experience with LDAP and MySQL, so
this will be an education for me.
