OpenVPN Connect using domain-name in route issue

On Windows 10 for example in OpenVPN Client (Community Edition) (OpenVPN-2.6.6-I001-amd64)

route test.exampledomain.com 255.255.255.255

Using this in the clients OVPN file it will resolve the domain to a IP address & create the windows route so it is accessible by the domain name.

However use this same OVPN file in OpenVPN Client v3 (openvpn-connect-3.4.2.3160_signed) it doesn't do the domain to IP resolution automatically which requires you to change it to an IP address for it to work.

My limitation is because it's a service on AWS Load balancer it doesn't have a static IP.

Any easy/good solution to get this to work on OpenVPN Client v3?
