You might use different DNS server for use topology lb method because GTM always consider the local DNS server for making topology decision.

 

Site A with DNS server a.a.a.a and Site B with DNS server b.b.b.b.

 

Then create a topology record as Local DNS a.a.a.a, GTM will resolve to site A and local DNS b.b.b.b, GTM will resolve to site B.
