F5 GTM - Delegating DNS traffic to Wide IPs

I am trying to accomplish the following; ns1.contoso.com is the name server for contoso.com and I would like ns1.contoso.com to forward DNS queries to the GTM for its configured WIPs (eg: webmail.contoso.com)

 

 

Reference- http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_gtm/manuals/product/gtm-implementations-11-1-0/2.html?sr=20559502

 

 

Can someone expand on the steps for Creating a delegated zone on a local DNS server(link above)?

 

 

Would I be creating the following?

 

 

GTM Config

 

Create WIP webmail.contoso.com with associate pools/virtual servers on GTM

 

Create tcp/udp listener for self IP address 1.1.1.1 on GTM

 

 

ns1.contoso.com Config

 

Create A record FQDN gtm.contoso.com 1.1.1.1

 

Create delegated zone webmail.contoso.com

 

Create NS within delegated zone webmail.contoso.com as gtm.contoso.com 1.1.1.1

    Follow-up: I have validated the above configurations, but I encountered a issue with GTM replying back with a private IP address. Both our GTM and LTM appliances have private IP addresses that reside in a DMZ network, so I had to manually create the virtual server with a translation instead of utilizing the iQuery autodiscovery.
