Some embodiments provide a method for a controller for mapping and sharing up to date configuration information for a logical network comprising managed forwarding elements having multiple tunnel endpoints. The method identifies a data compute node for operation on a host machine that includes a managed forwarding element (MFE) having multiple tunnel endpoints. The data compute node belongs to a particular logical network. The method identifies multiple other data compute nodes belonging to the particular logical network. The method distributes to the MFE (i) a mapping of each data compute node of the other data compute nodes to an identifier for a group of tunnel endpoints associated with the data compute node and (ii) a mapping of each of the identifiers to a list of tunnel endpoints. The MFE uses the mappings to encapsulate packets sent from the data compute node for transmission to other MFEs.
