Sounds like a job for freeswan. http://www.freeswan.org/

Nope, no good, VPN was my first thought but it is classed as messing with
the firewall, I am thinking about port forwarding which maybe allowable.
This problem is really about sell first solve later and as the contract QA

BTW sorry for outlook but they won't give me a decent Linux desktop here.
