Use one or two machines to simulate hundreds?  Unlikely.

But, these might help:
http://tcpreplay.sourceforge.net/
http://bochs.sourceforge.net/
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/
http://www.google.com/

There's a packet generator option I've seen when configuring recent Linux
kernels that I've not played with.

The network testing utilities in BSD ports collections are also worth
a look.
