Or why not bypass the webserver altogether 
for auth if itisnt trusted. Send credentials 
directly to the app server, that is assuming 
the app server is publicly accesible.

Yup, would work. However, it would be a novel situation in which the
credentials were sensitive, but the data was not.

I would personally be trying to resolve the untrusted web server
situation...
