Is there a way to add a stock “authentication required” popup to a dev server in a way that once they’ve logged in once, they can view the whole dev server?

What you’re looking for is Apache Basic Authentication:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/auth.html
(If you’re using Apache, but most other servers offer similar support).
It can be a pain to set up and manage, but it’s cheap and fast security.
