Disconnect/reroute counter terminals on M-series/X-series HW

I have an M-series DAQ module (PXI-6221, may be replaced by a PXIe-6231), on which all DIO pins are used for static/general DIO purposes. Now I would like to connect encoder signals from a PXI-7344 module via the RTSI lines to the counter(s) of the PXI-6221 in addition. So the specific pins would be pins 3, 37, 45 (counter 0) and pins 41, 42, 46 (counter 1) which I would like to route to the RTSI lines for the counters only, while at the same time using the same pins for general DIO purposes on the front panel connector.

I tired to use the Export Signal and DAQmx Dis/Connect Terminals VIs, but I am not sure how to (re)route the counter inputs to the RTSI lines and route the front panel connector pins to the general DIO circuits.

Is what I am trying to do even possible with the hardware I'm using?

Btw, this is a cross post with the NI forums (http://forums.ni.com/t5/Multifunction-DAQ/Simultaneous-Counter-and-DIO/td-p/1703044), apologies for that.
