Is this possible with a single LTM?

I have 3 servers (acts like routers) with 2 interfaces each, say in1 and int2. When traffic hits int1, it gets routed through int2 to other resources on the internet or intranet based on the criteria ...

Here is the drawing. The server (appliance on the drawing) has 2 interfaces. Traffic from the clients always enter through int1 and gets out through int 2.

 

 

The appliance takes action based on a scenario and might send the traffic to intranet or internet resources but the return traffic from these resources has to come back to int2 and routed through int1 and should go through LTM before getting to the client.

 

 

I do not know if I really need a VIP for the int2 side but I created one any way. The vendor says the appliance does not do any NAT and retains the original source IP. I have not really understood how this will work with a single appliance without BigIP for the return traffic to come through int2 without directly going through the client.
