This is problem of the configuration of web server. Two addresses mean two
objects and HTTP has no indication that they are the same (how would that
work even?). The same problem arises with clients, proxies etc.
You may often get recommentation to redirect one web to another because of
the SEO optimalization (your page rank won't be splitted between more
sites).

squid-2.7 supports the store rewriter which does what you need. But better
configure apache not to provide same content on more sites (e.g. redirect
one to another).
