Configure GTM to hand out the real address for the vips instead of the translated address and you'll be fine. To summarize:

 

 

DC_A LTM:

 

VIP1

 

Pool members DC_A_Citrix, DC_B_Citrix

 

 

DC_B LTM:

 

VIP1

 

Pool members DC_B_Citrix, DC_A_Citrix

 

 

GTM

 

WideIP

 

Pool members DC_A VIP1, DC_B VIP1 (real addresses)

 

 

You might include some logic that if the DC_A vip is selected, the traffic will favor the DC_A citrix server, and similar for DC_B, to cut down on cross DC hops.
