There are a few domains pointing towards the same server, and of course I need them all redirect to only one of them.
Redirects work, but only for certain URLs.
What works: http://www.domain.com, http://domain.com, domain.com/index.html, domain.com/index.php, , domain.com/nonExistentDirectory, and if I click in the menu the following URLs are also redirected correctly: domain.com/foo/bar, domain.com/foo/bar.html or .php or other extension.
What doesn't work: domain.com/existentDirectory, domain.com/foo/bar (if I type the URL in the address bar).
If anyone will have the time and skill and will to tell me where's the mistake, I'll be deeply grateful.
Here's my .htaccess file:

Thinking that the above version was overkill, I've also tried to redirect all the requests for domains different than the main on to be redirected to it like this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com [L,R=301]
Is it also wrong? Because it doesn't work either!
P.S. @Sodved I've tried that and it doesn't help (I comment here because I can't seem to be able to comment your answer.)
Removing the following piece of code didn't solve the issue either, so the problem must be somewhere else:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
New details: using this tool for checking the redirects I got the following results for the URLs that are not redirected:
Checked link:
http://domain.com/aDirectory/
Type of link: direct link
(note the trailing slash above)
and:
Checked link:
http://domain.com/aDirectory
Type of redirect: 301 Moved
Permanently
Redirected to:
http://domain.com/aDirectory/
(no trailing slash here)
I hope/suspect I'm getting closer to the cause of this behavior.
