Even if you succeed in stripping the menus from all of the alternate 
pages, the URLs and cgis are still going to work. It isn't going to be 
hard to look at the address bar:

and figure out that any host can be displayed just by changing the 
"HOST=" value. Alternate page sets (on the same web server) are not 
going to really "jail" those users.

See if you can publish your alternate page set on an apache vhost. You 
could then prevent the external users from reaching your primary vhost.
