Hi Richard, 

You're going to have to change *something* on the server, unless you
invent magic crypto beads that unencrypt themselves on delivery....

To wrap encryption around cleartext sessions is the definition of a
tunnel.  If you can set up a VPN, you're done.  

Or did I misunderstand the question?
