Sounds like a custom filter would be best. You could map the filter to
some root, say "/dynamic-security/*" and then always publish to URLs
that would be served by resources in that URL space.

You can do whatever you want in your filter. For example, you could
have a map of URLs to clients and make sure that the current-user "is"
the proper client. You can even write a simple management servlet that
allows you to modify that map. (Don't forget to protect that admin
servlet :)
