selinux and apache modules linked against libs in non-standard places

[Aleksandar Milivojevic <amilivojevic@xxxxxx>]

I have PHP module linked against library in non-standard place.  When 
starting Apache web server, it loads PHP module, which in turn attempts 
to load this library.  This is what I get in /var/log/messages each time 
I start Apache:

kernel: audit(1107201979.916:0): avc:  denied  { execute } for  pid=3248 
path=/opt/foobar/lib/libfoobar.so.1.0.0.1 dev=dm-1 ino=560573 
scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=file

I believe this is due to the fact that Apache is restricted in what 
files it can open using SELinux policies.  How to allow Apache to use an 
library in non-standard place (/opt/foobar/lib for example)?  Preferably 
in a way that will not be overwritten when system is updated (if 
possible, of course).
