If I have understood things correctly, on the new network a node can have
both darknet connections and opennet connections; in which case, when data
comes from a darknet node, it should forward it hijacking the source as
beeing itself, otherwise, it would use the usual algorithm. Being on the
border of the darknet (giving the darknet a gateway to the opennet) means
not giving away any info on darknet nodes. Being fully inside the darknet
means you don't know anything about nodes that you've not been introduced
to (and none else besides them should try to connect to you either!).

Please correct any faulty assumptions. I've not had time yet to follow up
on this darknet thing.
