Description
*Title*: *Feature Request : Support basic Regex virtual host domain matching*
*Description*:
I was attempting to migrate from Nginx to Envoy and encountered the following limitation with domain name matching in Virtual Hosts.
The envoy instance had the following domains (on vm01.example.com) which it required to match to a specific virtual host / cluster:
- svcx-01.uat.example.com
- svcx-03.uat.example.com
- svcx-05.uat.example.com
An Envoy instance on vm02.example.com will likewise have some number of instances of the service
- svcx-02.uat.example.com
- svcx-04.uat.example.com
Desired Behaviour:
To be able to specify a simple regular expression in the domain match field
```
...
"filters": [
{
"name": "envoy.http_connection_manager",
"typed_config": {
"@type": "type.googleapis.com/envoy.config.filter.network.http_connection_manager.v2.HttpConnectionManager",
"stat_prefix": "ingress_http",
"route_config": {
"virtual_hosts": [
{
"name": "default",
"domains": [
'~svcx-\d+.uat.example.com'
],
"routes": [
{
"match": {
"prefix": "/"
},
"route": {
"cluster": "svc_cluster"
}
}
]
}
]
},
"http_filters": [
{
"name": "envoy.router"
}
]
}
}
...
```

Additional:
Prior to this I also tried a wildcard domain match svcx-*.uat.example.com which would also have been sufficient had it worked.
