1. A method in a communication system for providing a special processing of a communication sent from a first user processor at a first location to a second user processor at a second location across a communication network, the second user processor having an address in a special address range assigned to user processors in the second location that require the special processing, the method comprising:

  • programming a router at the first location to route the communication to a first special processor, in response to the address of the second user processor being in the special address range;

    programming the first special processor to perform the special processing on the communication addressed to the second user processor and to perform one of encapsulating and re-addressing the communication to send the communication to a second special processor, the second special processor having an address that is not in the special address range, thereby allowing routine delivery of the communication to the second special processor.
