1. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium comprising computer program instructions for intercepting and processing a payload sent from a sending client to a receiving client, the program instructions executable by one or more processors to perform actions including:

  • a) receiving, at an intermediate server, a session setup message sent between the sending client and the receiving client in a session setup protocol;

    b) inserting identifying information in the session setup message, the identifying information indicating a server role corresponding to the intermediate server;

    c) receiving the identifying information in the session setup message and determining an intercept server role based on the identifying information, the intercept server role being a role other than a role corresponding to a home server associated with the sending client or the receiving client;

    d) sending an identification of the intercept server role in a subsequent message; and

    e) in response to receiving the subsequent message, performing payload intercept actions, the actions including receiving the payload in one or more messages of a secondary protocol, processing the payload, and sending the payload to the receiving client.
