[NSX ALB] How do i best utilize a single SE group for multiple application VIPs?

Hi, i was wondering if someone could advise on what is the best way of utilizing a single service engine group for multiple applications, reason being is to save license cost

Requirements:

1. Each app has a single VS and respective backend servers

2. Current apps are using Citrix LB (Two Arm deployment), each app has its own Virtual LB

3. Using static routes

4. No change to existing network topology

My Thoughts

1. Maybe VRFs can be used to separate the routing table for each application?

2. Per app SEs could be used for each app to save licensing cost (Of course this would mean seperate SE groups for each app)

3. .......

 

Those are the only 2 ways i can think off for now, and Im not really sure how it would look like from a SE networking perspective (really appreciate if there is a simple illustration that could be shared)

Thanks
