      If i got it correctly, you don't want anybody except authorized
    personell even viewing sql servers in your network.
      What slammer taught us back then was that the best way to secure a
    machine is NOT security through obscurity...Since then, the most
    efficient solution has proved to be the placing of database servers in a
    demelitarized zone and protected by firewalls and possibly NIDS.What i
    purpose generally is to have a seperate network for users, an other for
    developers etc..So you can control resources through a central and
    certain place(e.g. a linux firewall or whatever you like).
      Now, if a small network is your case, you can use with ease a personal
    firewall like Kerio to block access to ports 1434 and 1433 both udp and
    tcp to not authorized users.

    my 2 cents.
