There's no such thing as 'anonymous commenting' :) At the very least
you'll have the time and IP of the commenter. 

Corporately speaking, however, it'd probably be a good idea to just 
use Windows domain authentication so the user doesn't have to login
separately. One can do this directly with Apache[1]. There's an LDAP
implementation available for Ruby[2], too. If the corp uses more
interesting logons (emp4422344uscaoakl2344, I've seen it), a lookup
database could be set up for a better descriptor (if it's not directly
available, I'm not familiar with the Apache module).
