Even if it is just an outward facing reverse-proxy, I highly doubt Google is hosting 2 different websites with the same server or even process.
Take Django for example. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#media-url There is obviously a need for global site-wide settings and a need for global canonical URLs. I do not think this is an edge case at all.
