Correct when we add an address to the GTM such as app.company.com we have our DNS create a record and have been having them point these records to the VIP ip address but it sounds like we should be having them point it to the GTM listener. Am I heading down the correct path? Sorry in advance for the possibility of these questions be very open ended but I am just trying to get more into the use of the GTM and using it correctly and my DNS understanding is lacking a little. Thanks.
