If you fooled the router into thinking that the reverse path for the
source is on another another interface and then used strict unicast RPF
checking, that may accomplish what you want without using ACLs.  I don't
know what impact it would have on your CPU however, you'll have to
investigate or provide more details.

Note, depending on the platform and configuration, filters/ACLs may have
an insignficant impact on the CPU.  If they don't, don't forget to
complain to your vendor.  :-)
