I just think I couldn't possibly be fully understanding what you're
asking. But in case I *do* understand it, it would be like this:

Set up a switch in the server room and connect everyone to it. Connect
the switch to the internal webserver. Give the webserver an internal
(non-routable) IP and hostname. Anyone can access it via
http://internal_hostname/my_script.php

No one outside the LAN can access it, something you can enforce with
Apache or with iptables (Linux).

I have one of these set up in my house/office.

Hope this helps.
