Intranet/Extranet Content Cohabitation

OK, so there's this company, let's call it Sprockets. Sprockets has an extranet that the whole world can see: www.sprockets.com (aka WSC). Sprockets also has an intranet that only employees can see once they're behind the sturdy Sprockets firewall: employee.sprockets.com (aka ESC). Some clever (read: lazy) Sprockets executive has decided that (s)he wants a page on WSC to display to customers that also contains content hosted on ESC that can only be seen by employees. In other words, people outside the firewall will see one version of the page, and people inside the firewall will see a version with additional confidential content. I need a solution (if one exists) that can be managed by the aforementioned executive, who isn't exactly the most technically savvy person on the planet. Any suggestions? Gracias in advance.
Note: this hypothetical bears no relation to the actual sprockets.com.
