That is a pity, I agree. I try and avoid that setting completely ;)

That's something I can't honestly say I have tried. The main reason why
things like PIPs and DAM allows things like that is because it means that
the switch processor that performed the client processing also provides the
server processing and an additional state table is used. That is why PIPs or
DAM or are required for layer 7 processing.
I have heard that there has been some discussion and some development to
give some flexibility in DAM in the future, specifically as it relates to
udp stateless.
