Redirect policy

Could someone clarify the policy on redirect pages for me. I know it seems clear enough ("we do not generally list pages with a redirect"). Problem is that I have recently submitted a website built with Flash. By necessity, the default page senses whether the browser has Flash, and redirects to the Flash website if Flash is detected.

The website is http://www.consulttheguru.com (submitted, I think, to: Business: Marketing and Advertising: Marketing Support Services, but I can't honestly remember ... it may have been Business: Marketing and Advertising: Consulting). This url redirects to: http://www.consulttheguru.com/fla/ctg.htm

We're not doing this to deceive in any way ... the content of the default page accurately reflects what we offer on the pages it redirects to.

Question is, should I resubmit: http://www.consulttheguru.com/fla/ctg.htm? Or is it likely that when an editor sees the site, and sees that we are not trying to pull a fast one, they'll allow it with the redirect as is.

Submit the root URL (i.e. don't resubmit) and let the editor decide what to list. We are mainly concerned with people who redirect one URL to another URL rather than within the same domain.

Oneeye meant "from one DOMAIN to another DOMAIN."

The domain-root-redirect to default home page is an honorable exception to the rule, and we are happy to list your domain root.
