IE & IIS implement NTLM authentication to automatically authenticate clients using Windows domain credentials. There are modules for Apache that do the same thing - mod_ntlm is one that I found with a search on Google (http://modntlm.sourceforge.net/). There also appears to be one at http://dp.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/lorikeet/mod_ntlm_winbind/. Both modules assume a Samba/Windows server to authenticate users against as far as I can tell. I haven't seen any modules that allow you to use NTLM authentication with anything other then a SMB backend.
