Re: robots.txt with a 301 redirect

@jackin
Thank you for your concern. Don't worry, I would not consider doing
any such thing as that (different content for people and bots).

There are currently no (nor were there ever) any indexable pages on
domain1 - all the content is on domain2, I simply want the ability to
give someone a link to domain1 and have them arrive at domain2.

Indexing from domain2 is an option, but it would be a compromise. I
personally would like all indexable links to point to domain1 and
redirect to domain2, rather than pointing directly to domain2, as
domain1 has a far more "keyboard-friendly" url, and for other reasons
as well.

If this is not possible then pointing all indexable links to domain2
directly is an option - but not an optimum. I'm just trying to figure
out if the optimum is possible before resorting to a compromise.

Right now, as it stands, none of the pages on either domain are
currently indexed by any SE as the robots.txt has been set to
Disallow: / since the beginning.

@Bernard
Unfortunately, it does not currently work fine. Google reads the
robots.txt file BEFORE attempting to follow the 301 - once it reads
the Disallow: / it then stops and never accesses the 301 at all,
meaning the second domain never gets indexed.
