Tom,
You didn't mention if the servers are in the same Domain. If they are then
using a combination of Domain cookies and a common authentication server to
your
servers would probably do the trick. Digest authentication is better but
as people have already stated, it ain't there yet. Are you worried about
session timouts, single signon, access control and simplified administration?
You might want to look at a commercial SSO system for web servers.
Just another voice,
Kevin
