for example -  
mitmproxy --ignore ‘.google.’ -e --U [http://10.0.0.2:4242](http://10.0.0.2:4242)

do ‘.google.’ requests are still forwarded to [http://10.0.0.2:4242](http://10.0.0.2:4242)?

Do someone know the answer?  
it is important to understand if those requests will still be forwarded to the upstream proxy or not.

Why don’t you just try it yourself with two mitmproxy instances and report back here?
