cloaking

Hi,

I have a question re: cloaking.

I have a friend who has a business in Canada and the UK.

Currently the .ca site is hosted on Godaddy. The co.uk domain is registered (with uk ip address) with domainmonster and is using a cloaked/framed redirect to the .ca site.

As a result (my assumption) the .ca site is indexed fine by google, the .co.uk is not.

The content is generic for both sites. How do I point the .co.uk site directly to the content independently (preferably without duplicating the content hosting in the UK), so that for instance if the .ca domain was taken away altogether the .co.uk domain would remain an entity in itself from Google's point of view? Does Google index a generic set of content and then associate different country domains with that content?

I hope I have explained this ok.

Thanks, Greg
