Best bet is to tar up your directory to a file

tar cvf /path/to/mydir.tar  ./mydir

Then extract the tar into each domain directory:

for dir in /var/www/domain*
do
     cd $dir
     printf "Extracting to $dir.."
     tar xf /path/to/mydir.tar
     echo
done

Thank you Chubler_XL for replay
I can do that in one job for all domains? not per each domain.

4 
cd /var/www
find . -type d -a -name "domain*" | xargs -i cp /path/to/your/file/foo.txt {}

this will cp the foo.txt to all subdirs.

The script I posted will do it for all domains (perhaps I should have worded my post more carefully).

If you tar up your directory and type the script as it is above and hit enter you will see:

$ for dir in /var/www/domain*
>do
>    cd $dir
>    printf "Extracting to $dir.."
>    tar xf /path/to/mydir.tar
>    echo
>done
Extracting to /var/www/domain1.com...
Extracting to /var/www/domain2.com...
Extracting to /var/www/domain3.com...
Extracting to /var/www/domain4.com...
Extracting to /var/www/domain5.com...
Extracting to /var/www/domain6.com...
... and so on ...
