1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • configuring one or more computing systems of a configurable network service to emulate functionality of a virtual peering router device, the virtual peering router device being indicated to inter-connect at least first and second virtual computer networks provided by the configurable network service, wherein the configured one or more computing systems further implement at least a first computing node of the first virtual computer network, and wherein the configurable network service maintains mapping information for the first and second virtual computer networks that associates virtual network addresses of a plurality of computing nodes that are part of the first and second virtual computer networks with locations of the plurality of computing nodes in one or more substrate networks on which the first and second virtual computer networks are overlaid;

    receiving, by the configured one or more computing systems, information about a communication that is directed to the virtual peering router device from the first computing node;

    determining, by the configured one or more computing systems, to use routing information for the first virtual computer network that is included in the communication to update configuration information used for providing the second virtual computer network; and

    updating, by the configured one or more computing systems, the configuration information used for providing the second virtual computer network based at least in part on the routing information included in the communication, wherein the updating of the configuration information includes using at least some of the mapping information.
