Anybody familiar with this?
Depending on how many members you have, switching to MySQL may be the way to go. Apache can't reliable handle much more than 1200 or so entries in an .htpasswd file on a busy site. That's where mod_auth_mysql can help you - using mysql as the data store, you can handle thousands (or even tens of thousands) of members with aplomb.
