Using on prem GTM for handling public cloud sites

Hello. So I have a GTM pair spanning my two data centers that I manage. We're starting to work with some cloud vendors to host some services like web sites. Is there a way to utilize my GTM devices to be able to handle DNS by directing web traffic to public servers we host in the cloud?

So the DNS requests to get to the site would come into the GTM that I control and then I'd want to be able to send that traffic to the public cloud server.

 

thanks..

    Well I found this to be much easier than I was expecting. Right now I appear to have a working solution in place. I just created a generic host using the public IP address of the website, did the same for the virtual server using public IP and allowed the montior rules through my firewall and it appears to be working fine.
