In fact, the trouble is already investigated by PD

 

 

There are two tricks / workarounds, which are not mentioned in the documentation (and that's really bad)

 

 

1) Geo Topology load balance is not working for a destination datacentre within the WideIP (for pools load balance), but works for a region which consist of pools in the required datacentres
