We have just published sanjay's report on his investigations of various
techniques for authenticating webservices  linked to from
http://gfivo.ncl.ac.uk/resources.php


The 10 second summary is: There are theoretical techniques for deploying
a webservice once and using different auth routes (multiple policy, or
multiple port), however the reality is that they are poorly supported.
Deploying the same webservice app twice and deploying different auth on
top of each is much easier and works. 


Cheers
