Qemu can do VLANs, and with KVM and hardware VT (and lots of memory) you can simulate a pretty decent network. Xen can do as well, although that'll take a while to set up (and keeping an eye out for PAE/hugemem issues) while qemu's simple enough. I'm doing this (the qemu setup) right now as I needed separate instances of Linux and Plan 9 for some FOSS hacks I'm working on. Of particular note is qemu's `-redir' flag that allow me to connect to instance services as though they were running off the host namespace. Yes, it can be a bit slow at times, but its good enough for development work. Cheers, Zakame -- Zak B.
