Thank you very much. That really helps my understanding. Now I have another question. If we needed to load balance the URL "www.name.example.com" in our current DNS zone (example.com), would the following be correct: 1. NS record for "name.example.com" would be "name IN NS gtm-listener" 2. Create a wide IP called "name.example.com". In addition add the alias "www.name.example.com". Would this work? Thanks.

 

 

I'm afraid I haven't done GTM enough to answer this one, but why not just do "www.name IN NS gtm-listener" in DNS and "www.name.example.com" in GTM? I'm just not clear on how GTM uses CNAMEs.
