$ oc rsh -n openshift-ingress deployment/router-sharded cat os_http_be.map
^dummy-shared-demo\.apps\.demo\.openshift\.pub(:[0-9]+)?(/.*)?$ be_http:demo:dummy-shared

$ oc rsh -n openshift-ingress deployment/router-default cat os_http_be.map
^dummy-default-demo\.apps\.demo\.openshift\.pub(:[0-9]+)?(/.*)?$ be_http:demo:dummy-default

One downside: all routes auto generated with default domain:
