Most FPS engines support automatic map downloading these days.  The
Unreal engine, at least, also supports portals, and one of the
suggested uses of portals was going through a doorway to discover
oneself connected to a different server.  This sounds a bit like
what you're aiming for?

Unfortunately, I didn't follow up the leads on the Unreal portal
technology.  I'm fairly sure it was never taken to the extremes it
could have been taken to, though.
