I see a possible technical solution to something, but I don't yet understand 
the problem that technical solution is trying to solve.

The end user has never logged in, so they get a form, they enter credentials, 
they are logged in. Time passes, a session of some kind expires (a session 
provided by mod_session, or an internal unrelated session?), and the user… has 
to log in again?

I get the sense you're fighting against httpd's AAA modules instead of using 
them. Are you using mod_auth_socache to cache the credentials or something 
else? Are you using mod_session to implement your session or something else?
