Hi, 
 First: it is possible and working. But .. it depends what components are used in your infrastructure. I assume you have a DMZ zone and internal network. To be more specific in an answer, we need to know, in which zone is the Appian Platform located, where are the web servers / load balancer and what kind of authentication method is used (form based, SSO with SAML and Identity Provider). To clarify how you secure the access is one of the important steps for such an implementation. Do you plan with Form Based Authentication securing with 2-factor authentication or does your company already has an Identity Manager Provider in place? Or are you going to wrap the native Appian app with Blueberry or Maas360 to tunnel into the internal network? 
 Those questions have to be elaborated first prior to selecting software products. 
 Hope that helps as a starting point.
