Site header html on wordpress blog (other subdomain)

Hello,

I am running CMSMS on the main domain (www.example.com)
Under subdomain (blog.example.com) I installed wordpress blog, and it should use the same header+footer as the CMSMS site.

My question is:
What would be the best way to include HTML source of header/footer from CMSMS site into blog which is hosted under subdomain.

I am wondering how "cmsmadesimple.org" administrators are dealing with the same issue on their website:
Main website http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/
Modules section http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/
Forum http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/

All of them have the same Header & Footer.
Are they all updated manualy, or the header/footer is somehow imported from the main CMSMS?

Would be greatfull for any ideas.
Augustas

on the cmsms site(s), my guess is they did a copy/paste into each subdomain's template and then adjusted as needed for their respective web application and how they handle templates/themes.

close, but it's dynamic.... the headers, footers, and menus are actually cached in a file on the server, and the various packages read from these files..... then we can change the menu structure etc... and in a little time that change effects the blog, the forum, etc, etc.

Thanks for the "secret" :)
I was thinking to do similar approach as kermit explained on this thread (by giving different stuff to specified IP address):
Share page content between sites using RSS

Just I have to think now, how to inject into header wordpress specific meta tags and customized meta tags of the blog entry.
