Hmm, not clear what you are trying to reach but let me guess. You have two DCs - DC1 and DC2. You have a GTM for DNS resolution. Boths DCs has an LTM with VIP configured. Both VIPs has the same IP.

 

You need to forward request to the appropriate DC. Let say DC1 down, all requests need to go to DC2. Is it correct?
