Description
override_address is not always an IP address and it can be a domain address. However, there is not an option to specify which DNS server to be used to resolve the specified domain to an IP address. It would be great if there was such an option. An argument like the following example is suggested:
{
"action": "route-options",
"override_address": "www.example.com",
"domain": "cdn.example.com",
"server": "google-dns" // dns server used to resolve "www.example.com" to IP
}

Research direction
The issue names no implementation file, entry point, or test. Start by locating handling for the route-options action and the existing DNS resolution path, then determine how a selected server should be represented and used. Done means domain-valued override_address can be resolved through the configured server without changing existing behavior.
