At one point Dalien had this working under a concept that he called
"friendly teleport".  Basically, some set of low region coords were
reserved for gating in from other opensim grids.  Some reference to it
is here:

Honestly, this would be a great thing for people to revive.  "World
Jump" is going to be a very needed feature to make it easy to wander
between worlds that may be under different domains of control.

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
