This is a violation of Craigslist's rules. From http://www.craigslist.org/about/help/faq#wronggeo:

Can I post my ad on more than one craigslist site?
Please choose just ONE local craigslist site for which your ad is most relevant-generally the site closest to you. If your ad is equally relevant to all locations, your ad does not belong on craigslist. Please find another service. Posting the same ad to multiple locations on craigslist is prohibited.

You may be able to post to two different locations sequentially. You must delete the first ad before posting the second. Also, you must wait 48 hours from the original posting before posting again.

To disregard these restrictions risks being banned from Craigslist, and Craigslist does enforce them, although often not right away.

There are possible workarounds, such as the use of a Web proxy, as offered free at http://www.zend2.com/. Fellow Help Owl volunteer smcclurken has additional suggestions here.
