Peer to peer is not on the 1.0 feature list. However with the ability to discover repositories through zeroconf/bonjour that Scott is working on (http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/equinox-dev/msg03609.html) and the adaptative download technology / mirroring support that Tim is working on (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=207802), scenarios like these should be easy to put together.
In your particular case, the LAN repo announces its availability, p2 clients notice it and add it to the list of mirrors. When a download request occurs the download strategy picks the "best" repo and therefore choose the LAN one. It is also interesting to note that if the clients were to announce their repositories (everything downloaded by the client is stored in the form of a repository), then you would obtain an even more peer-to-peer'ish experience.

The scenario I'm thinking of is a Branch that has to upgrade to a new release of the application. It would make a lot of sense to have just one (or two) machine act as gateway to the wan and have the others get the upgrade from the lan. This should work without configuration overhead (spontaneously!)
