Users are authenticated with ldap. So there are identical credentials
for django and moodle (and our other web apps).

Up to now I don't havy any experience with moodle. I'm hoping I don't
have to become an expert on moodle internals just to "embed" it into
my django app, as I fear it to be a rather complex system - and
becoming an expert to be a very time consuming task... Hence my idea
of a rather generic approach to the problem. ;-)

I don't know nginx... Does it give us more options than Apache? Our
setup is as follows: We have Apache2 running as the only "visible"
server. It serves PHP and static files and it acts as proxy for Django
and Zope2 running on the same machine. But my suggested proxy approach
even would allow for "django-embedded" php/zope apps running on other
machines. It would give us rather flexible options... if it'd
work. ;-)

Thanks for your feedback!
