-- `FromList`: Only Gateways specified in `gatewayRefs` may use this route.
-- `SameNamespace` (default): Only Gateways in the same namespace may use this

-If `allow` results in preventing the selection of an HTTPRoute by a Gateway, an

 only one Route rule may match each request. For more information on how conflict
 resolution applies to merging, refer to the [API specification](httprouterule).
