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?
