In fact, at IUT-Orsay, we used this year Marionnet for exams with an automatic scoring system (I can publish the scripts in a "contrib" section of Marionnet when it will be really usable).
Several students pass their examination on the same machine, one after another.
To overcome a possible problem with the scoring system, we used several X servers so when a student finished, we switched the screen on another X server and let all the Marionnet instances running (in order to eventually connect with ssh on the machines to check).
So running several instances of Marionnet can be sometimes useful, but in this case we manually (i.e. with a script) add another ip address on eth42 on the virtual machine to overcome this difficulty.

May be the easiest change would be adding a parameter for the management
network in the config file (/etc/marionnet/marionnet.conf or
~/.marionnet, ...) :

MARIONNET_ADMIN_NETWORK = 172.23.0.0/24

Title:
  Same ip addresses for several virtual hosts when two marionnet are
  running

Status in Marionnet - A virtual network laboratory:
  New

Bug description:
  When several marionnet are running on the same machine, the same ip
  address on interface eth42 may be given to differents virtual machines
  (for example if you save a marionnet project, make a copy and open
  this copy with another marionnet).

  It would be great if for example marionnet-daemon had a list of all
  the ip address already used and when marionnet opens a project, it
  check this list and possibly change the ips addresses of the new
  virtual machines.
