So are you saying something like

if ($http_via ~* ".somehost.net") {
   rewrite @protected permanent;
}

location @protected {
   auth_basic etc.
}

wouldn't I have to define the entire location / twice then? once
*inside* of that named location (because I need the entire base
location and such to be active, just behind auth)
