since nobody well qualified has answered this, i'll go out on a limb
and answer at the risk of unleashing somebody's wrath :)
the question is confusing to me and i'm guessing at what you are trying
to do. you could authenticate the user, launch a httpd for
that user and redirect the user to it. I believe this is how pegasus
works. then your fs on /srv could require authentication.
