Configure two virtual hosts.  Configure one accessible from anywhere,
and one accessible only from the Intranet (by IP address ranges).  For
the one accessible from anywhere, configure it to require a password for
access.

Then tell the Intranet people to use the internal host name, and the
others to use the external host name.
