alias can be also a proto:domain:port.

The difference is that alias is about specifying the full domain as
value to match, while alias_subdomains is about matching any subdomain
part of the value.

For example:

1) alias=xyz.com

the myself will match only when value is "xyz.com".

2) alias_subdomain=xyz.com

the myself will match any of values such as: a.xyz.com, b.xyz.com,
c.d.xyz.com and the likely

Cheers,
Daniel
