In Google Webmaster Tools you can set preferences for "canonicalization". This is the terminology used to describe duplicate content with a preferred source (more precisely it refers to the preferred source itself). Google have a discussion of their policies on duplicate content and canonicalization in the answers section of Webmaster Tools.
To summarise the page the simplest/best approach is to set a "preferred domain" in your Webmaster Tools site settings and set up link elements in your duplicate pages with rel="canonical"
to indicate your preferred source for SEO purposes.
If you want http://www.example.com/dresses/greendress.html to be the
canonical URL for your listing, you can indicate this to search
engines by adding a element with the attribute rel="canonical"
to the section of the non-canonical pages. To do this, create a
link as follows:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/dresses/greendress.html">
Canonical links are not specific to Google. They are defined in RFC 6596 and are known to also be supported by Yahoo and Bing since 2009.
In regard to the link relation type, "canonical" can be described
informally as the author's preferred version of a resource. More
formally, the canonical link relation specifies the preferred IRI
from a set of resources that return the context IRI's content in
duplicated form. Once specified, applications such as search engines
can focus processing on the canonical, and references to the context
(referring) IRI can be updated to reference the target (canonical)
IRI.
Setting up canonical links does not prevent search engines from crawling your duplicate pages but it should ensure your page rank and search links are correctly assigned (which is really the important part). In theory GoogleBot and other crawlers should eventually figure out which base url is the real content and shouldn't crawl your duplicate content as often or as intensely as your "primary" pages.
