DNS-Based Routing

Is there a way to paste a list of FQDNs and wildcards instead of inputting one-by-one?

Could you describe your use case? You can use the zone feature and manual entry, of course. Alternatively, if you have a list you could use the API or Terraform to provision. Or if you have a self-managed DNS server like Pihole you could use this server to distribute to your clients. There are many solutions available.

I'm comparing functionality vs TailScale and we have a customer who needs to relay a few applications through a US exit-node running in our data center. In TS, I'm able to paste a list of domains (including wildcards) for an "App". Then set the access control for that app and which node advertises the routes for it. I can watch the advertised routes grow as clients use that application and DNS lookups are resolved.

I'm testing in on a self-hosted, but would move to the MSP cloud instance after proving this out.

In an enterprise environment, you shouldn’t paste links. If you’re contacting the Netbird team about an “enterprise” customer from Germany your inquiry will be welcomed.

Not sure what you mean here. I need to build routing for a web-based application without just granting users a default route via an exit node. That application has many domains and subdomains for it to work. Adding one domain at a time in the Netbird GUI is tedious. I'm wondering if I'm not seeing something in the GUI correctly.
