It is usual to use a DNS alias to make both addresses go to the same machine and then use a rewrite and / or a server alias to make the same machine server both sites.
That may be common, but its a bad practice that needs to go away. Each web page should have exactly 1 url at which it lives (archives and backups notwithstanding); any other urls by which it may be reached should invoke a client-side redirect to that 1 url, not just serve a copy. Doing this correctly is also quite easy. -- Darren Duncan
