Delegation of the root A record in a zone to GTM?

example.com is owned by a 3rdparty.

 

 

they have delegated zonea.example.com to us. We would

 

like to have zonea.example.com as an A record be managed

 

by the GTM.

 

 

If it was www.zonea.example.com, it would be the usual:

 

www.zonea.example.com CNAME www-zonea.gtm.mycompany.com.

 

gtm.mycompany.com NS gtm0.mycompany.com.

 

gtm.mycompany.com NS gtm1.mycompany.com.

 

 

and then in the GTM define www-zonea.gtm.mycompany.com

 

as a wideIP.

 

 

but since zonea.example.com is on the zone boundary it can't

 

have a CNAME entry.

 

 

I have tried in my nameservers just doing a stub delegation

 

of zonea.example.com to the gtm's, but that of course results

 

in my nameservers being considered as lame servers.

 

 

anybody have any tricks/techniques I can do, or am I basically

 

SOL and have to have the 3rdparty directly point at out GTM's

 

instead of our normal public NS's?
