By using xFire, CAS supports remoting its protocol, which can help in this situation (we actually use it at Rutgers to authenticate services). CAS also supports remoting its protocol via any of the remoting options Spring supports.
I'm not sure how your application/web services are set up, but we generally recommend using the proxying features of CAS if your web service is acting on behalf of a user (i.e. the user logs into a portal that accesses a web service on their behalf) and the API directly if your service is authenticating with the web service.
