GTM , How Getting DNS Requestes from public internet since it is not belongs to ISP

I am New To GTM,So my question is simple

 

for example , i have dove.com, which was published over internet, but i want to resolve the DNS requeste on my local GTM, but if user from home request dove.com, it will go to (INNI DNS servers). how come my GTM Box can select best server and provide the IP to user?

 

my guess, i have record on INNI DNS server, stating, get DNS request from my GTM BOX?

    I am clear , but one more point, here i have 2 authoritative nameservers ( GTM Boxes) whihc one answewr for clint request, any parameter we can modify to point GTM boxes in primary authoritative nameserver,

     

    When a client requests DNS resolution for the host name the DNS server that is authoritative for the domain.com domain responds with the CNAME (alias) record www.wip.domain.com. The client then requests resolution for the host name www.wip.domain.com. Since the domain.com zone points to gtm1.domain.com and gtm2.domain.com as the authoritative nameservers for the subdomain wip.domain.com,

     

    the resolution request for www.wip.domain.com is then sent to one of the BIG-IP GTM systems. The BIG-IP GTM system sends a response to the request with the most appropriate A (address) record based on the wide IP configuration.

     

  • the resolution request for www.wip.domain.com is then sent to one of the BIG-IP GTM systems. The BIG-IP GTM system sends a response to the request with the most appropriate A (address) record based on the wide IP configuration.

     

    how is choosing from two GTM to sent one GTM?

     

  • ok, so you will delegate your sub zone wip to two GTMs. when client will request for its resolution, the public server will advertise a cname to the wip subzone and both GTMs as NS for this subzone. don't remember if it's in the same responseor a second one but it doesn't mater. At one time you client (ldns) will receive both GTM IP as NS for the subzone and he will pick up one! which one is depending on the public DNS server advertising NS in different order and ability of your client to manager two NS for a zone.

     

    But this should not be imporant, either one will be choosen by the client. Why it is not important : first GTM are synchronize in a GTM group, which means they have the same view of your network, they exchange states, persistence records, ie if you send a request at the same time on both they should give you same response. secondo, if you have latencies for example one GTM in the US another one in europe, the DNS querie is just a one time action, meaning you will suffer from RTT just for the resolution request.
