[users@httpd] Question regarding Authentication in httpd.conf/apache2

I have an httpd.conf question regarding Authentication.  My problem is as 
follows.

Say, for example, that I'd like to protect /usr/local/www and all 
subdirectories, EXCEPT /usr/local/www/unprotected.

When I do the following:

<Directory /usr/local/www>
    AllowOverride None
    Options FollowSymLinks
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    AuthUserFile /very/protected/path
    AuthName "Login here please"
    AuthType Basic
        <Limit GET>
            require valid-user
        </Limit>
</Directory>

I can of course get /usr/local/www protected, and all subdirectories.
Can I in any way then after I have said the following above choose to NOT 
protect a single subdirectory?

i.e.
<Directory /usr/local/www/unprotected>
   I want to NOT require valid-user here and omit any Auth line...
</Directory>

Thanks,

Rojo Loco

you could set satisfy any for this dir, but i don't know if this will work.
one tip: you should remove the limit get directive as you should limit 
everything. else one would be able to see your files by sending a post in 
place of a get.
