Hmm isn't this a general "remote auth" module? How is it specific to NTLM? The 
same should work for any other Apache auth module. I think such a general 
method would be more helpful. I think there is another suggestion somewhere in 
the bugtracker already...

BTW. I'd appreciate an auth module using the POSIX extension 
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.posix.php)
