mod_auth_remote should be a quite useful Apache module for use with Zope (and potentially other systems). It authenticates off of a URL, like:

<Directory ~ "/stats/">
 AuthType           Basic
 AuthName           Zope
 AuthRemoteServer   localhost
 AuthRemotePort     80
 AuthRemoteURL      /admin/auth
 require            valid-user
</Directory>

Then you won't be able to access /stats except with a valid login for /admin/auth (which you'd set up as a trivial resource that had the permissions you'd want to apply to /stats). Underneath mod_auth_remote does a second HTTP request using the authentication information you give. The code is very simple.

Unfortunately it's only written for Apache 2 right now, and I'm mostly using Apache 1.3. It should be easy to port -- it's only around 200 lines long -- but I'm not very experienced in that sort of thing.
