1. A method comprising:
performing, by a configurable network service (CNS) implemented by one or more computer systems:
providing a plurality of private virtual networks including respective virtual machines hosted on physical hosts in a substrate network of the CNS, wherein the private virtual networks include a first private virtual network of a first client assigned a first address range and a second private virtual network assigned a second address range;
configuring a remote resource service in the first private virtual network accessible via a first network address in the first address range, wherein the remote resource service implements a load balancer;
configuring a local access mechanism for the remote resource service in the second private virtual network, wherein:
the local access mechanism is assigned a second network address in the second address range and configured to communicate with the remote resource service via the first network address, and
the second private virtual network is configured to communicate with the remote resource service via local access mechanism and prevent communications with the remote resource service via one or more public networks external to the CNS; and
providing access to the remote resource service for a plurality of virtual machine nodes in the second private virtual network using the local access mechanism.
