I understand what you mean. It makes sense to me. Thx.

However, unfortunately, I am afraid that I understand the APE
architecture yet.

Tell me where I am wrong:

If I do

ape     IN    A        x.x.x.x  ; The IP address of your APE server
*.ape   IN    CNAME    ape

on my OVH DNS Zone, then no request to ape.mydomain.com will ever
reach my web server. It will reach the APE server, right?
