I need some expert advice on a strange occurence in Yahoo.

'I have a website ranked well in Google and several other engines, but the index is pretty low on Yahoo. When I started this site, I purchased a similar domain and had the 'domain forward' feature added to it. So when you click on the 2nd domain, it opens my existing website, but all pages have the 2nd url in the address bar. That is the only difference.
In addition, this 2nd domain shows up for the same backlinks that my Original domain has. I have never optimized for the 2nd one. I purchased Inktomi submit for both last year. Recently I upgraded Domain #1 to Overture site match, but Domain #2 is still riding under Inktomi.

Now Domain #2 (in the last few weeks) has been showing up for all kinds of keywords on the 1st page of Yahoo. But Domain #1 is still not to be seen.

Has anyone ever heard of this? Also, will/can this hurt me in regards to 'duplicate sites', even though I only have 'one' site...and 2 domains? They seem to be treated as the same site. I am confused. Any ideas?'
