Something like Cisco CBAC maybe, but you don't want that performance
wise. But back to the original suggestion, I think its better protect
that one service better by for example using IPsec and strong
authentication then using some obscure way of authentication that
opens extra services and changes firewalls runtime.

A little voice inside tells me that you don't want that ;-)
