Then do it the other way around. Have the form submit to your new URL
and send a call to the legacy URL from your own server-side script.

Daniel is right that you shouldn't trust the client to successfully send
two requests in sequence. Even with a server-side approach, you'll have
to find a way to make sure that the two actions will be performed as one
transaction (i.e., either both or none).

If you absolutely have to do it from the client side, forget about
submitting the same form twice - that won't work (reliably). Have your
submit handler send an XHR to one of the URLs, and after you get the
response from that, submit() the form to the other URL.
