Description

This PR adds the ability to use the external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target annotation on *Route (like HTTPRoute) resources to override the target coming from the Gateway. A special case is included where if the gateway also includes the external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target annotation and the *Route has the external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target set to "" the target annotation from the Gateway isn't used and the normal flow gathering the listener address from the gateway is used.

Fixes #4779

Hi @davidspek. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

1. If a matching parent Gateway has the `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target` annotation, uses
the values from that unless the route has the `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target: ""` annotation in which case it iterates over that parent Gateway's `status.addresses` adding each address's `value`.

2. Otherwise, iterates over that parent Gateway's `status.addresses`,
2. If the route has the route has the `external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/target` annotation with a non-empty value, uses the value from that.

3. Otherwise, iterates over that parent Gateway's `status.addresses`,

If target annotation apply first, would you please re-order it ?
It should simplify the wording
