Hi I don't see why it wouldn't work if you had a l2 switch connecting the interface in rd:0 and :1, but it's hard to envisage why you want to place 2 route domains back to back like that, in the same VLAN. I can understand if you had F5(rd:0) ==> firewall/servers ==> F5(rd:1), as you may want to use your F5 in 2 separate security domains, but not back to back.......

 

Also if you do it like that, make sure you have the physical interface in rd:0 different from the physical interface in rd:1 as you could get mac address clash.
