No, it's not a challenge.

Every solution I can think of requires routing audio outside of Band-in-a-Box because Band-in-a-Box turns off the audio of a track when the track is in record mode. I believe the issue is he hopes to accomplish that goal without routing any audio outside Band-in-a-Box.

One item that might clarify the issue is to know the brand and model of the keyboard he is using to input midi. If the keyboard is capable of passing digital audio as well as midi through the keyboard to computer connection the Kontakt VSTi might be available through the connection.

By using the tools he has listed in his signature there should be several ways to route the Kontakt VSTi piano audio signal so he can hear it while he is also recording the midi input as he is playing.
