If I understand correctly, you've got a GTM Providing DNS for services to LTM VIP's

 

To solve your problem, I would create a "Dummy" Virtual server on the LTM, with Pool A (or pool B, whichever is the non-default pool on the normal vip) and assign dependencies based on this availbility.

 

Therefore the GTM would only advertise/respond to requests via DNS if both pools are up.

 

Hope that makes sense.
