My Site Links Not Working When Using Alternate Access Mapping

Question

I have a SharePoint Site Collection under my main
Web Application: mywebapp:80.
I had to extend this to an Intranet zone
Web Application: mywebapp:101.
I am able to open my Site Collection from either address. The authentication protocols for both are the same.
When provisioning the User Profile Service and configuring
My Site, the
My Site Host Location must be supplied, in this case: http://mywebapp:80/personal/mysite
I housed my My Site Host under the same Web Application as my
Site Collection.
When accessing My Site for any given user from mywebapp:80, all the links of user photos point to that same
Web Application, which is expected.
i.e. When on http://mywebapp:80/personal/mysite/person.aspx?accountname=person1 , all the links of photos of other users are http://mywebapp:80/personal/mysite/person.aspx?accountname=person2,
etc.
When accessing My Site for any given user from my extension, mywebapp:101, all the links of user photos still point to the old address.
i.e. When on http://mywebapp:101/personal/mysite/person.aspx?accountname=person1 , all the links of photos of other users are still on http://mywebapp:80/personal/mysite/person.aspx?accountname=person2,
etc.
So I figured that the My Site Host configuration under the
User Profile Service will just literally follow the initial URL specified. That said, I ask:
1.) Is there no way that the My Site links will be able to adjust depending on the URL I am accessing it from?
2.) What are possible implementation alternatives for cases like this when I need to use
My Site under 1
Web Application and have to make it available on
multiple host names?

Hi Noel,
perhaps this thread is similar with your question:

any way, for your 2 questions,
perhaps you can give us more details about the scenario?
as i know,
mysite able to adjust, but you may need to configure the the host of the mysite, for example:
1. to the User Profile Service Application (UPA) and changed the MySite URL, few sites show the new URL and few show the old one.
2. to Central Admin and found there may 2-UPAs created.
3. changed the MySite settings on both the UPAs, created Managed Paths wherever necessary and then changed associations of all web applications to one of the main UPA
for configuring the multiple host, you may check with your IIS, and add the bindings,
