Multiple Calendars on one Outlook Account

I need to find a way to let someone on Exchange Server A edit a calendar on Exchange Server B, in a different organization.
We currently have two groups: Call them Org A & B. Both are currently on the same Exchange server - this is about to change.
Group A is about to migrate off our current server (Exchange 2003, in-house, with OWA access), to an external Exchange 2010 hosted environment. B is staying behind for a while, before making their own move to a separate account on the same host.
A VIP user in Org B. has two assistants in Org A., who access his calendar. When Org. A moves, they will no longer be on the same server, and no longer have direct access to his shared calendar.
We would like to find a way for the assistants in A to be able to access the old server for B, and be able to edit the VIP's calendar, while they are on separate servers. We're running Outlook 2007 at the moment.
We're aware Outlook 2010 has the ability to use multiple MAPI accounts, and had considered connecting them to an account on B to see his calendar. While that will work short-term, when B moves to the new Host, we'd need to pay for an additional account on B's server for them to access the VIP's calendar.
Is there a way to view & edit a calendar on a remote / foreign server running Exchange 2003 / OWA, using WebDAV or something similar, that does not require also having a mailbox on the server? (We can set up an account without an Exchange mailbox, but not a mailbox without paying for it.)
I've looked at this link, but am not entirely sure Office Live is a good solution - putting the onus on the VIP to publish his calendar (as opposed to his assistants reading it) may not be a solution.

Response by poster: Yes, but the hosting solution will separate them so they cannot be a part of the same tree, even once they are both on the same solution.
