I have been tossing around the idea of encrypting all my LAN traffic.  I
have several Wireless Access Points that started me down this path.  Cisco
is pushing VPN's for all wireless clients.  So I started thinking.....

Kerberos will do this, but I think trying to get Windows 2K, Linux, Solaris,
etc. all on the same page will be a superhuman feat.  What about IPSec?  I
could setup VPN's for each server-to-client and server-to-server, but that
seems like a kludge.

Is anyone aware of software that will automatically negotiate a tunnel
between boxes?  I am leaning towards IPSec, but will consider anything.  I
am not looking at hardware right now, which may be the only solution.

In a nutshell, I want end to end encryption on my local net.....possible?

It's not secure "Because they told me it was secure".
The people at the other end of the link know less
about security than you do. And that's scary.
