Question : Setting Up Network Lab ESXi 4.0

I need to set up a lab to test deployment issuses.  I have an esxi 4.0 server running fine.

I want to have:

Main site: 192.168.0.x/24
Server1: Active directory/DNS/DHCP
Server2: Oracle
Server3:

Site 1: 1923168.1.x/24
Server4:
Client1:

Site2: 192.168.2.x/24
Client3:
Cleint4:

How can I set this up on my ESXi server?

I have 3 physical network cards installed, here is the problem.  I would like everything to be virtualised, and have read that setting up a VM with 2 NICs isn't the best solution.  Idealy would be to attach the vswithces together.

I need 1 network card for my remote access and only have 2 left to connect 3 segments together.  Is my only option to have a phisical swith, but i would still be missing 1 nic.

You can configure trunking and connect several vlan to to the trunk. I have links to some good reference from vmware.  

This will allow you to run multiple VLANs/subnets over fixed amount of physical ports
