Dynamic network routing in a virtual machine environment. The dynamic network routing includes receiving an indication that a network outage has occurred and receiving a network communication to a guest or from the guest executing on a hypervisor. It is then determined if the guest that is the source or destination for the network communication is configured to use a revised network route. In response to determining that the guest is not configured to use the revised network route, then the transmission of the network communication is prevented and the guest is provided with network routing information. Once the guest has received the updating routing information the transmission of the network communication on the new route is allowed.
