I did consider using vlans but this requires huge changes in existing network
topology and switch-side re-configurations.

Is there a standard solution for this kind of problem?

One often used solution is that either the host OS or another virtual OS functions as a router between all the virtual OSes and the outside world.

Another solution is that some virtualization platforms (at least vmware and xen afaik) offer unique generated MAC addresses to each virtual OS, so the standard EUI-64 method will yield unique IIDs.
