Hi Shane,

We actually recently added code to handle requiring an acl for a skin.  
If require_acl is marked in the skins table the user will be redirected 
to the homepage unless they have the necessary ACL.  I suppose you could 
add some additional code there to make sure any required ACL's are 
enforced for a .shtml too regardless of what hostname they're coming from.
