Nope.

Second Life is a contiguous grid (well, a few), with all of its servers operated and maintained directly by Linden Lab. Interoperability is not possible, and never will be.

In the spirit of never say never I'll offer a few links to the past.

In this case 'never will be' can be restated as 'was possible in the past and could be done again in the future'

Okay, maybe you had to be an IBM Second Life Enterprise customer.  But that's just policy restriction not a technology limitation.

See the following link to find this quote and more - "Teleportation back and forth was also possible to OpenSim worlds because of OGP — Open Grid Protocol — which later became VWRAP."

You can still find content in wiki.secondlife.com about Open Grid  Protocol

Sure, the LL may never reconsider their past decision to move away from Open Grid support.

As others have said already, SL won't let anybody host sims on their grids.

 

But you can host your own sim if you like. Just get a free copy of Sim on a Stick and off you go! (Unless your computer runs Windows 8 that is - it doesn't work on that platform.)  What you can't do, is hook it up to Second Life.
