1. For a controller, a method for managing a virtualized infrastructure, the method comprising:
assigning a set of virtual machines on a particular private allocated network (PAN) to a set of host machines in a network of host machines, wherein a plurality of PANs are implemented within the network;
generating, for each host machine of the set of host machines, a different addressing mode table that specifies, for a virtual switch on the host machine, rules for forwarding packets within the particular PAN, wherein the addressing mode table for a first host in the set is different from the addressing mode table for a second host in the set; and
distributing the generated addressing mode tables to the set of host machines in order for the host machines to forward packets between virtual machines assigned to the particular PAN.
