Are these windows machines? .. configure IPSEC policies to do what you want 
(locally, on the machines).
If they are a mix of windows/linux or all *nix you can do it with policy based 
routing and IKE demon of whatever flavor you like.

Also consider just setting up "opportunistic IPSEC" if you have the ability to 
configure DNS for it.

I managed to not send this to the list, only to Michael.  Resending.

It won't be over the Internet.  All the machines that will participate
are on the same LAN segment and the same IP subnet.  I want to maintain
that unencrypted communication with the existing addresses, but add
another subnet.  Every machine will have a static address on that new
subnet, and if any of those machines talks to another machine on one of
those alternate addresses, the communication must be encrypted.

I don't care whether the technology is SSL VPN, IPSEC, or something
else.  I just want everything to be fully automated and fault tolerant
so that if one of the machines were to die, the encrypted communication
between the other machines will still work.

Thanks,
Shawn
