Is it for an AVS site? I don't think there is really any other generic way to protect your members area - the AVS would need to pass control to a script on your site with some sort of key that validates the surfer. Authenticating by referer is a nice and clean way to do it as it's all done with a few lines of .htaccess without needing scripts on your side, but as you can see it's virtually useless these days.

If you control the login page then you could move to a form+cookie based login, or stick with good old HTTP basic auth.
