This sounds a lot like what I've read about Kerberos; apparently 
Kerberos is great for this sort of single-sign-on function. I haven't
had a chance to play with it yet, so I can't speak about it from 
first-hand experience. However, if I had a problem like that to solve,
my first instinct would be to look for a kerberos module for apache,
and then build something from that.
