Sounds like a good idea. As long as apache sets the Authorization  
header with credentials matching a user in monit this should work  
fine. Monit can be setup to authenticate against a htpasswd formated  
file[1]. It is probably a good idea to export monit users from ldap to  
such a file from time to time if you go for such a solution.
