Here is a thought. What if you let the LTM load balance the APP Servers for the webservers.
For example
web_server_vip ---> Pool A (Web Server 1 and Web Server 2)
app1_vip --> Pool A (Server1App1 and Server2App1)
app2_vip --> Pool B (Server1App2 and Server2App2)
Such that you are monitoring APP1 and APP2 respective of their pools, which allows you to monitor each instance
Then have Web Server 1 or 2 access their respective appX vips.
In theory if Server1App1 fails the monitor, then the requests from Web Servers would go to Server2App1 and allows web server to access app2 on server1.
I hope this helps
