Is the traffic in question HTTP? If so, this can be done via an HTTP redirect.

 

If not, then your approach of sending to site B's virtual server via site A's LTM should work. You'll need to ensure you perform the appropriate SNAT on site A's LTM so the return traffic will come back through LTM A. You'll also need to ensure the routing and access control within the network is setup to allow the communications from LTM A's SNAT address to the virtual server on LTM B.

You can do the HTTP redirect from LTM A. LTM A could be your single place of turning on/off experience B. If you can't get the SNAT communications working between LTM A and B and you want to pursue HTTP redirection, I can assist with an iRule to do so.
