Can GTM redirect URL using cname?

Hi

 

We need to access from internal user to internet. and we have GTM as DNS server.

 

Can we create wide-ip name "; and make it resolve CNAME ?

 

so when user want to access this website, they just type into url and enter. then it redirect user to . ?

 

Is this can be done? or it need LTM+irule redirect.

 

Thank you

    You don't need a Wide IP for this. You can just create a CNAME in ZoneRunner (If GTM is acting as an LDNS for your client requests) pointing to the WIP If GTM isn't the LDNS, just create the CNAME in in the local DNS server for the requesting client
