Apache and LDAP questions

Hi all,

I have recently set up a web server which auth's against my corporate 
LDAP server.  Everything works great, the only caveat is that the 
LDAP server does not currently define groups.  As a result, anyone 
within the company can authenticate to my web server.

Not a huge problem, but I'd really like to restrict the access to 
just my group.  I chose LDAP because I didn't want to maintain a 
password file, nor did I want to require users to need yet another 
pair of credentials.  All this is currently maintained by the corp. 
LDAP people. 

I can, however, easily manage a list of user names within the group.
Is there any way to use LDAP authentication provided the user name 
entered is also a member of group list maintained outside of LDAP ?

Thanks,

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.

	 If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!
