I know that several of the apache auth mechanisms have an "is 
authoritative" flag.  If you turn that off, it should fall back to some 
other auth mechanism.  So you could set up a chain of authentication 
within apache that first checks your campus dictionary, then some local 
file-based mechanism, then fails.  This assumes your auth mechanism has 
such a flag...
