Ah.. But "http://www.domain2.com"; is NOT the same as
"http://domain2.com"; - the "www" is merely a common convention. It
actually makes it a different site.

At the technical level, there is nothing wrong with presenting
completely different websites on http://example.com and
http://www.example.com.  Just like "http://example.com"; and
"http://intranet.example.com"; are different sites.
