We have programmed two applications for intranets, one of those comes quite near to that what you want.

That's exactly what we do in one of the applications which is a kind
of product catalogue.
We also have a tool running under CA-OpenRoad for administrating the users
and to control what was entered.

The whole thing is as secure as the connection between browser and WWW-server.
It is possible to spy out passwords using tools like tcpdump if you are really
connected to the line between both. This is the same security as an rlogin
from/to your site.
If that's not enough, it would be no problem to use a WWW-server with
RSA-cryptography (eg from Netscape), but there's no freeware server with this
feature as far as I know.

Our tool is connected to the database using the ESQL-interface, that
means database query functions are directly compiled into it. I think this is
a quite efficient way.
The rest depends on the hardware you use and on the quality of your internet
connection. I think each modern computer will bring down even a fast
connection.
