Hi there

I would have a custom route
route add -host *.googlevideo.com gw ipaddressofgateway
or
route add *.googlevideo.com gw ipaddressofgateway

that use to work many years ago

but i can not get to work

any help would be appertained.

[egc]

"route add" is a bit outdated nowadays it is ip route and no "ip route" does not have a lookup of hostnames any more.

For some explanation see: https://serverfault.com/questions/754618/what-is-the-ip-route-equivalent-of-route-add-host-in-linux

Are you sure wildcards were supported?
Without wildcards it should still work.

Nowadays with "ip route" I first do an nslookup to get all the IP addresses of the host (IPv4 and IPv6) and then route those
