You can use the same syntax on both root domains but realistically you can't have 1 robots.txt point to something else (with the exception of XML sitemaps). The only option that I see here is that you have one file that gets served from 1 server on both requests from two sites but that seems like a lot of engineering overkill for a very simple problem (just duplicating files).

@eulabrant It is advisable to use separate robots.txt files for different properties.

If there is a subdomain, you can utilize the main parent domain robots.txt file for the corresponding child subdomain.
