A method of communication, comprising: receiving a first packet and a second packet from an access terminal (104, 204) at an access point (102, 202), wherein the access point (102, 202) is a home femto node for the access terminal (104, 204), wherein the first packet is associated with a first Internet Protocol interface, the second packet is associated with a second Internet Protocol interface, and the second Internet Protocol interface is associated with an Internet Protocol address assigned to the access terminal (104, 204) for a local network, wherein the first Internet Protocol interface is associated with a first packet path through an operator network (106, 206), and the second Internet Protocol interface is associated with a second packet path that is not through the operator network (106, 206); sending at the access point (102, 202) the first packet via the first packet path based on the first packet being sent via the first IP interface via an IPSec tunnel between the access point and the operator network (106, 206); sending at the access point (102, 202) the second packet via the second packet path based on the second packet being sent via the second IP interface; maintaining at the access point (102, 202) a record of the Internet Protocol address associated with the second Internet Protocol interface; intercepting at the access point (102, 202) a packet directed to the Internet Protocol address associated with the second Internet Protocol interface; and processing at the access point (102, 202) the intercepted packet on behalf of the access terminal (104, 204), wherein the processing is responding to the intercepted packet on behalf of the access terminal (104,204), wherein: the intercepted packet comprises an address resolution protocol message directed to the Internet Protocol address associated with the second Internet Protocol interface; and the processing comprises sending a message comprising a media access control address of the access point (102, 202) in response to the address resolution protocol message. receiving a first packet and a second packet from an access terminal (104, 204) at an access point (102, 202), wherein the access point (102, 202) is a home femto node for the access terminal (104, 204), wherein the first packet is associated with a first Internet Protocol interface, the second packet is associated with a second Internet Protocol interface, and the second Internet Protocol interface is associated with an Internet Protocol address assigned to the access terminal (104, 204) for a local network, wherein the first Internet Protocol interface is associated with a first packet path through an operator network (106, 206), and the second Internet Protocol interface is associated with a second packet path that is not through the operator network (106, 206); sending at the access point (102, 202) the first packet via the first packet path based on the first packet being sent via the first IP interface via an IPSec tunnel between the access point and the operator network (106, 206); sending at the access point (102, 202) the second packet via the second packet path based on the second packet being sent via the second IP interface; maintaining at the access point (102, 202) a record of the Internet Protocol address associated with the second Internet Protocol interface; intercepting at the access point (102, 202) a packet directed to the Internet Protocol address associated with the second Internet Protocol interface; and processing at the access point (102, 202) the intercepted packet on behalf of the access terminal (104, 204), wherein the processing is responding to the intercepted packet on behalf of the access terminal (104,204), wherein: the intercepted packet comprises an address resolution protocol message directed to the Internet Protocol address associated with the second Internet Protocol interface; and the processing comprises sending a message comprising a media access control address of the access point (102, 202) in response to the address resolution protocol message. the intercepted packet comprises an address resolution protocol message directed to the Internet Protocol address associated with the second Internet Protocol interface; and the processing comprises sending a message comprising a media access control address of the access point (102, 202) in response to the address resolution protocol message.
