I tried Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mywebsite.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mywebsite.nl/$1 [L,R=permanent]
You can’t. The redirect is not done in DNS, but in whatever service you are reaching at that domain. If you wish to make a DNS name resolve to the same IP as another existing name though, in order to implement something else to perform the redirect, you will want a CNAME record.
