1. A computer system, comprising:

  • one or more processors; and

    one or more computer readable storage media having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the computer system to perform a method for routing a message from a first virtual network to a second virtual network without the use of a gateway, the method including;

    the first virtual network identifying a destination for a message;

    the first virtual network accessing an internal record associated with the destination virtual network, the record containing at least a first plurality of virtual addresses assigned to first virtual nodes in the first virtual network and a second plurality of virtual addresses assigned to second virtual nodes in the second virtual network, wherein at least one of the second plurality of valid virtual addresses is reached by the first virtual network without use of a remote gateway that publishes globally unique addresses for network destinations;

    the first virtual network determining from the internal record, that the message destination is mapped to a valid virtual address associated with a virtual node of the second virtual network; and

    routing the message towards the virtual address of the second virtual network.
