Claim:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored contents that cause one or more computing systems providing a configurable network service to at least: provide, by the one or more computing systems, a first virtual computer network having multiple computing nodes for a client of the configurable network service, including configuring the one or more computing systems to store mapping information about the multiple computing nodes, and using the mapping information to forward communications between the multiple computing nodes; connect, by the one or more computing systems, the first virtual computer network to a second virtual computer network provided by the configurable network service via a virtual peering router provided by the configurable network service; update, by the one or more computing systems and in response to a message from at least one computing node of the first virtual computer network related to information about one or more computing nodes in the second virtual computer network, the stored mapping information to include additional information about the one or more computing nodes in the second virtual computer network; and forward, by the one or more computing systems and based on the updated mapping information, one or more additional communications that are received from the at least one computing node to the one or more computing nodes in the second virtual computer network.
