If meaningful URLs are used (admin/stats, admin/config,
admin/analysis, etc.), it is relatively easy to use either the servlet
container or something like mod_proxy to implement security. Designing
a good URL scheme might remove the need to address security concerns
at the Solr level.

Agreed.  Perhaps the Solr servlet should use the path information for  
selecting the request handler:  /solr/search/standard, /solr/search/ 
mlt, /solr/search/dismax, etc.

And a /admin, /stats, and/or a /tools paths would be a good  
separation.  /tools/analyzer, /stats/cache...
