IP & ID/Password Security on Web Servers

Hello,

Anyone have any success in merging IP & ID/Password security for
restricted access web pages (e.g. link to resources restricted a
particular clientele, such as a campus' students & faculty)? 

We have IP address security for some pages and are creating ID/Password
protected directories to provide off-campus users access to resources, but
it would be nice to merge the two into a single server function...If you
don't have the right IP address to see a page, then you're automatically
prompted for the ID/Password.  Once you enter the proper information, you
see the page.

We're running the latest NCSA and almost-the-latest Apache servers.

Thanks,
David
