Forwarding - Change nameservers - ...etc

Hi all,
I am owning a .info domain name which is not hosted with the registered domain hoster but it is hosted in another location so I've changed its original or default nameservers to the place where I am hosting the website contents and so far every thing is working great.
Now I've bought another domains with the same name, for example the current one is a .info domain name (Domain.com | Register your domain name today!), I've bought the same domain name with the .com, .org, .net (www.domain.com - Domain.org - www.domain.net ).
Now I will install the new website using the .com domain name which will not also be hosted with the original registered hoster but will be hosted with the hoster where Iam hosting my .info domain. I won't use any thing from the contents that are existing on the .info website but I will install a new software with a new database. So the question now, I will change the nameservers for the .com domain to the nameservers belong to my friend where I will host it, but for the rest domains which are .info, .net, .org, if I want any one to be directed to the .com directly without let the visitor feel or k now or realize that the domain name is being directed or forwarded to another place (I mean the text being written in the status bar at the bottom of the browser), what could be the best option to do, is it just using domain forwarding for the rest of domains, or it is another thing to be done, and shall I place any lines or command at the .htacceess file or not.
I hope that I made myself clear, and sorry for long thread and poor English.
Thanks

I'm not sure I follow completely what you want to achieve, but if you want the site to appear on all domains as though the site is on that domain just park all the domains on top of each other. This will show the status bar as .info, .com etc depending on the domain you type.

However this is going to give duplicate content on all domains so I wouldn't recommend that.

You can either have the registrar forward request to the .com for you or park all the domains on the host and use .htaccess to redirect all requests to the .com.

If you use the registrar make sure it does a proper redirect and not just place the .com in a frame on the .info etc.
