<div>As for the network traffic, it depends on how much goes thru that host... isolating it to 1vm per physical nic is the best by far, but I'm sure you could always rig something with tun/tap & bridging...<br><br>

The box has a dual-core Pentium 805 (it's a bit old). I was thinking I would run NetBSD as the host (could just as well be Linux though, but I'm pretty comfy with BSD). I thought I would stick several NICs in the box so the emulators wouldn't have to share the NIC with the host. Does that help? Would it be pushing it too much to run 2 or 3 different instances concurrently?<br>
