Abstract
Techniques are described for managing communications between computing nodes of a computer network. In some situations, multiple computing nodes of a provided computer network may share a single virtual network address, and communications sent to that single virtual network address by other computing nodes may be managed in various manners. For example, the multiple computing nodes sharing the single virtual network address may be part of a pool of alternative destinations associated with the single virtual network address, and particular computing nodes from the pool may be selected to receive particular communications sent to the single virtual network address. Pools of multiple related computing nodes may also be identified and monitored in various manners. In some situations, the computing nodes may include virtual machine nodes hosted on one or more physical computing machines or systems, such as by or on behalf of one or more users.
