Yep, as Alex suggested, a HTTP redirect is what you need.
Because you said that if you navigate via either domain you get the same
site, you're most likely not using virtual hosts, so you can use
mod_rewrite to acheive the redirect:
httpd.conf:
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*olddomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
Note: I didn't test the above, so your mileage may vary.
