What influence line in .htaccess like:
Options +FollowSymlinks
I tried to redirect domain like .NET to .COM within CP and it prohibited me to do this. When I removed it worked redirection in CP without an error.

"Options +FollowSymlinks" or "Options +SymlinksIfOwnerMatch" is required (either in the server config or in .htaccess) in order to enable mod_rewrite.

Various control panels do things in different ways, and their behavior may change as they are revised and updated. So I don't care to guess why your control panel refused to do what you asked.
