  domain: my.cluster.shoot.url.k8s.example.com
  ingressSelector:
    app: istio-ingressgateway
    istio: ingressgateway
  tlsMode: Simple        # Simple (default) or  Mutual
  dnsMode: Wildcard      # Wildcard or Subdomain or None (default)
  dnsTarget: public-ingress.cluster.domain # Optional

The dnsTarget field is optional. If specified, it will be used; otherwise, it will be derived from the Istio Ingress Gateway via ingressSelector.
Gateway and DNSEntry will be created in the same namespace as the Domain resource while the Certificates will be created in the namespace where Istio Ingress Gateway is present.
In cases when X509 client authentication is enforced on the Istio Gateway by setting tlsMode to Mutual, additional CA certificates are needed by Istio for verifying client certificates. These can be specified in the certConfig.additionalCACertificate field.
