Not database, domain! It'll be talking to the same database. Technically speaking, the domain is not the important bit either.
Think of it like this: FR currently has two ferret mazes. One maze is labelled www1, the other www - these labels are our domain. The same ferrets (data, stored in the database) run through each maze. Every so often staff are lifting a bunch of plastic tubes out of the www maze, rearranging them to make them quicker to run through, and putting them in the www1 maze. It's all the same functionality, just faster and easier to work with.
Previously, they also added toys and treats when moving the pipes over, but that's a lot more work. For now, they're leaving the treats alone and just moving the pipes over.
