I don't think there is any way of doing this. If you need to do it a
lot, I suggest some scheme whereby you have a redirect router that gets
data from a file, but passes if it cannot match up the domain with
anything in the file. Then you just need to update the file.

As well as allow_domain_literals (which allows the syntax) you also need
to enable a router to handle them (an ipliteral router).

That should work when allow_domain_literals is true, assuming that by
a.b.c.d you mean an IP address.
