Routing Application Egress Traffic via Egress Gateway Using Destination IP Address in a Service Mesh

Issue

• In OpenShift Service Mesh (OSSM), there is a requirement for application egress traffic to exit through the Istio egressgateway pod when accessing external services via destination IP addresses.
• When the application initiates outbound connections using a destination IP address instead of a hostname, it is necessary to determine whether OSSM can be configured to route this traffic through the Istio egressgateway pod.
