simulate offline for automated build and unit testing (linux)

In my opinion, once a working copy is checked out, the automated build & test should not need a network connection to do its job. During development, a dependency on network services may sneak in - a unit test tries to call a webservice - an xml library tries to download a DTD. I'm trying to avoid this because it makes the build fragile...
