web service security in a forms authentication application

our web application employs Forms Authentication because anonymous users log
in over the internet. the application also contains a bunch of web service
methods that are purely used by an internal tech support application.

although the application as a whole uses Forms Authentication, i would like
to restrict access to these web service methods to just the internal Tech
Support Team/application on the local network. is this possible?

p.s. I cannot seperate my web service methods into a different application
because they query the data cache so need to be integral to my main app.

Does this mean...
