Front it with a webserver and let the webserver handle security?

Hi,
During my REST/Cloud presentation, I got a particularly interesting question about the
Infinispan REST server.
As it is, once the REST module is deployed, anyone can access it as shown in
http://community.jboss.org/wiki/AccessingdatainInfinispanviaRESTfulinterface
Now, how would you go about authentication/authorization to access Infinispan via REST?
Since at the end of the day the REST module is a war, users would need to tweak it
accordingly in order to configure the security constraints under its web.xml defining the
corresponding roles and authentication methods. Wouldn't they?
I don't think it's possible for Infinispan to provide a more restricted
Infinispan REST module, but instead some guidelines on how to secure it would be handy.
Thoughts?
