We've implemented something similar by having server_condition run some ${perl
...}. As it happens, in our case we were already using ${perl...} to perform
the authentication check, so we just modified the Perl code that was run.
In the general case, you could just modify server_condition so that, as a
side-effect of failing (i.e. when it's about to fail), it uses ${perl or ${run
or something else which does whatever you want it to.
AFAIK there is no ACL.
Hope this helps,
