    converting, by the computing device, the non-standard data access request into one or more DSN slice names;

    determining, by the computing device, whether the one or more DSN slice names are within a slice name range allocated to the computing device; and

    when the one or more DSN slice names are within the slice name range, executing, by the computing device, the data access function regarding one or more encoded data slices corresponding to the one or more DSN slice names.
