Thanks for the reply! I have used this in the past on Linux systems with
Apache 1 - but I had no idea if the Apache2 version would compile under
Solaris (let alone the Solaris X86 version) and run dependably. I sent
Giuseppe an email and asked him, but I've gotten no reply. It looks like it
had been a while since his system was updated (the version for apache2 was
last updated in January of 2006) but that could easily be a testament to its
solid performance since then.
Thank you for letting me know that someone is actually using it under
Solaris 10 X86 and that it will work dependably. I have heard tale of
failures using the apache supplied module so this makes me happy.
I will post my results here.
Thanks again!
Jeff

I found it trivial to install mod_auth_pgsql.

As far as performance, only your testing will tell if it is sufficient. In
my setup, the authentication overhead is the least of my worries.
