If the question finally is "..without using *container-based* authentication/authorisation", then have a look at

http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net/

There is good explanation of the difference between the "container-based" and "filter-based" approach to AAA, and maybe it already offers what you want.

Another good place to look would be

http://www.tuckey.org/urlrewrite/

which is not properly-speaking an authentication filter, but which may help in 
your purpose.

Both of these are open-source, so it should not be very hard to add the functionality you want, if it is not there already.

Sorry. I meant...

"Is there another way to achieve this, i.e. without using Realms or
mixing valve/filters with Realms?"

I need to treat my clients differently depending on where they came
from. I need to trust all requests coming locally (i.e. from
127.0.0.1/localhost) and not require them to authentication. However all
external requests need to go through authentication. Is there a way to
configure Realms in Tomcat to accommodate this?
Is there another way to achieve this, i.e. without using Realms or
missing valve/filters with Realms?
