I don't think this could be done in nanoseconds. Maybe microseconds, but
more probably miliseconds.

Another question would be, how fast your router can be with potentially
thousands of routes (I know, many OSes have routing optimised very hardly).

I think that you are trying wrong approach, using wrong tools.
Guessing the potential usage from DNS is not a goog idea.

On your router, configure firewall to route selected protocols (gaming, ssh,
RDP, dns) and maybe later some sites to paid cellular and router everything
other to DSL.

Note that at my home, most of data is spend by my children watching youtube
videos - I don't think that routing general web and streaming services to
cell connection would help you with anything.
