Hi Jason,
You can even restrict access even by ip in apache. For more
sophisticated uses look at modules.apache.org for modules like
mod_auth_any or mod_out_script which allow apache to hand off
authentication to an external script (method) (sic!).
Also things like mod_auth_mysql or mod_auth_postgresql would
- together with the right user folder in zope - allow to
unify zope and apache authentication.

It really depends on what exactly you want to do what tool
to choose - but I'm sure you'll find one.

cheers,
