When you add a wide IP, you will most likely need an NS record delegating the wide-ip domain to the GTM so that all DNS queries for that domain will be handled by the GTM.
In the parent DNS server that delegates the new domain to the GTM, there should be a glue record (an A record) that points to the GTM, which the GTM uses as a floating self IP addr and a listener address for DNS queries.
You can then allocate this address or a different one (also a self IP addr) for your wide IP in you local DNS server on the GTM.
You need the NS record for the wide ip domain in the GTM's local DNS server as well.
"Wide IP" is a misleading name and should really be called "wide name", to my mind.
