openvpn client config - redirect through vpn - selective routing based on domain name

Hi I'm new to this R7000 device, Tomato, and OpenVPN.  I've successfully flashed Advanced Tomato, Release date: 19.06.2015, and Version: 2.8-130.  So far I've set up my router to selectively route based on IP using info provided here:

However, it would apppear that relatively recently this firmware is now capable of managing selective routing based on domain name by configurng the 'OpenVPN Client Configuration - Redirect Through VPN.  See image in this link:

What I'm not clear on is what other settings and scripts need to be in place for this to work and what changes I need to make from the IP based selective routing approach.

My intent is to only route certain domain name requests through the VPN server where the rest of my traffic to go via my normal ISP routing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
