A search engine robot get a page the same way your browser does. I
sends a request to a server.
I think you have much greater chance of shomething going wrong
useing a redirect using a meta tag. Since all browsers don't support the
tag one usually puts in a manual link. That's the requested page, not
the redirect page. When using a symbolic link, the robot has no way of
knowing the delivered page is a result of a symbolic link.
