You could use FreeBSD and jails.
If you set it up intelligently, you can have 100s of jails on one system.
It would still be only one system with 100 IPs and different services 
running on different (independant) FreeBSD-jails.

So no way to simulate Windows.

And tcpreplay is also a good tool, as mentioned.
