    I ended up dropping the idea of forced redirection and instead chose to display a a prominent icon that showed US visitors to the UK site that there was a site for them, and vice versa for UK visitors to the US site. Different domains now, with Google Webmaster Tools aware of the target market for each domain, to improve search rank and to avoid penalties for duplicate content.

    thanks for the info, I’ll persevere for now. If it is useful to anyone else reading this – I used “fetch as google” in WMT and and it didn’t seem to redirect so may all work okay and not redirect the spider.
