We've gone with Juniper's SSL VPN for our next-generation VPN solution.  It
does group merging so that if a user is a member of multiple groups, he/she
will see a merged list of resources and privileges upon login.  That might
fix the limitations that you list.

Cisco's ASA appliances are supposed to be able to do this with the 7.3 code,
I believe.  But it wasn't going to be ready in time for our deployment.
