It would probably be much easier to modify an open sourced Gnutella client with multisourcing (swarming) for the purpose. You would need to add in the security features but a simple username/password scheme would be enough for your needs. As it would be a private network, extending the protocol with a few private security commands/messages would not be a problem. Also, having the source available would also make it way easier to add possible new features not available in Kazaa.

Possible starting points (open source + swarming support):

LimeWire (Java)
Swapper (C# + .NET)
