In this article, we’ll go over how you can fix the DNS record for permanent redirect? error on your web browser. Problem :

Newbie webmaster here: I have 2 domains mydomain.com and mydomain.net. I want a permanent redirect so that if anyone browses to mydomain.net they navigate to mydomain.com. Is there a way to do this using DNS records?

Solution :

You can try http://redirect.center.

In your case, configure your DNS like this:

mydomain.net A 54.84.55.102
redirect.mydomain.net CNAME www.mydomain.com.redirect.center
www.mydomain.net CNAME www.mydomain.redirect.center

You won't be able to "redirect" using DNS records.

As mentioned:

You could create a CNAME record for your .net domain, this way your
DNS will translate mydomain.net to mydomain.com.

This is a good first step, but this only sets the domain to point to the same IP, it doesn't actually perform any redirecting. Once the domain is pointing to the same place you can then set your webserver (Apache/NGINX/IIS/&c) to HTTP redirect traffic from one domain to the other.
