Nimbostratuswide ip DNS
I have 2 Datacenters and want to load between them. I have a GTM and a pair of LTM in each DC. On my internal DNS I have a condition WIDEIP forward zone pointing to the GTM'S in each DC. I create my WIPS on the GTM and select the pool from the LTM. My question is, How does the dns A record get into the WIDEIP zone on the GTM (do I manually create it? To view the WIDEIP zone on the GTM I navigate to xonerunner.

Wide-IP is actually a listener object. As soon as you create a new wide-ip, GTM automatically creates its A record to the matching zone using bind. You can view the a zone's SOA, NS and A records using zonerunner tab. Zonerunner is nothing but a GUI to manage bind engine.
On your DNS (LDNS), you either setup a delegation towards GTM or create forwarding pointing to GTM, depending on the flavor of your setup.
