Yes, you can do this with mod_ssl. See SSLVerifyClient to require
that a recognized certificate be used by the client, and
SSLCACertificateFile to list the CA's whose signatures you recognize.
You can create a CA, put that CA's certificate in there, and then sign
the client certificates (you'll probably want to look at
SSLCARevocationFile, too, to be able to revoke access to clients).
I've done that; you can probably also put all of the individual client
certificates in there. Docs are here:
