Bro has code to detect this case and still perform some analysis.  However,
we haven't operated it in such an environment for a number of years, so I
don't know if that code still functions correctly.  Even if it does, you'll
still at best get degraded performance, since many of the policy scripts
expect to match requests with responses.
