Would be nice if there was a script that did this.

In a past company we had added an ability to create virtual
hosts (each with its own network stack + interfaces) and
virtual nets to our version of FreeBSD.  A grad student
modified a gui program to draw network topologies and
generate a shell script from it to set up these nodes and
nets on a single FreeBSD box.  We did the opposite of what
Sun was touting. "The computer is the network" :-)
