Sharing resources across virtual hosts

Hi

Say you have 2 virtual hosts set up and one of them runs your main website. On the other virtual host you want to run a "branded" (ie: differently styled, using CSS) version of the main website.

Rather than copying all the content from your main web over to the branded version (since that would then mean if you want to change some text on a page you'd have to do it in two places) is there a way for the branded site to pull in the (in this case) PHP files and some of the images from the main site yet make them appear to be coming from the branded site?

Example 1: image on main website is located at http://www.mainsite.com/images/photo.jpg and you want to display it on your branded site aswell but make the SRC link look like this: http://www.brandedsite.com/images/photo.jpg 

Example 2: You have a FAQ page on the main site (http://www.mainsite.com/faq.php) and you want to have it on the branded site too (http://www.brandedsite.com/faq.php). You want to pull the FAQ page from mainsite, apply the CSS from your branded site to change the logos and colours and display it as http://www.brandedsite.com/faq.php

This is the first time I've done anything like this. I'm pretty sure you can do this sort of thing with content management systems, but we'd rather not go down that route and presumably content managements systems use some underlying features of Apache and virtual hosts to achieve this, so that's what I'd like to find out about.

Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.
