You can use the auth_request module for that then.

I've replicated the mercurial repo on github:

https://github.com/perusio/nginx-auth-request-module

It involves setting up a location that proxy_pass(es) to the Apache
upstream and returns 403 if not allowed to access.

Be careful with the X-Forwarded-For header and how it's treated on the
Apache side so that you get a real correspondence with the client,
thus making the authorization procedure reliable.
