1) I'm not sure why you would want to SSL-ify your local connections but
   not your connections to the external network.  That just doesn't make
   sense.  :)
2) You can use IPSec to achieve this.  I know W2K has some form of IPSec
   support, and of course Free/OpenBSD does (as does Linux I'm sure :-).
   Unfortunately, I'm pretty dang sure W2K's ipsec support isn't
   builtin.  You have to get some kind of toolkit or something.  And I'm
   not sure it's free either.  :)
3) See #1.  I'd honestly be laughing more if you don't trust your local
   network more than you do the external net, than if you are using W2K.
