It looks like matchDomains works as expected for browser apps. Can you confirm if it is supported for non-browser apps? For example, if a non-browser app uses Core framework calls such as CFHostStartInfoResolution to resolve a domain to an IP and then directly connects to that IP, would that be expected to trigger the on demand rule?

It should work for any app that uses a connect-by-name API.

Apps that use the ‘resolve then connect’ approach will fail in a variety of circumstances, including this one. For more background on this, see the Connect by name section in TN3151.
