Thanks. I see. So the rule `server=/firebaseio.com/#` is sent to local server 127.0.0.1 which then blocks it because it has the rule `address=/*.firebaseio.com/`
A rephrase of my question is: How can I route `firebaseio.com` to resolve using default address (the standard server defined by `server=8.8.8.8`) without having to write `server=/firebaseio.com/8.8.8.8` (with keeping the second following rule `address=/*.firebaseio.com/`). Apologies for the multiple enquiries and thanks very much. Elias. Sent with Proton Mail secure email.
