Lo and behold - my GNS3 Lab Dream has been mostly fulfilled! As I was blogging on Network World, one of the readers posted this link:

http://www.killtest.net

It’s a massive GNS3 support/lab forum where many people have created lab topologies for existing books/scenarios out on the market! Much less work than creating labs manually (my initial idea). I’ve redirected GNS3Labs.com to this site - great stuff!

Okay…I have to admit…I’m a little bummed this is already out there. It feels a little like I jumped out of my chair saying, “wouldn’t it be great if there was a device that could excite water molecules to cause friction and heat up food?!?!” Ehhh… I’m sure I’ll get over it - I’m really excited to see this site in play!

UPDATE: In surfing through the site, they even have a .NET file for the CCIE topology I created for CBTNuggets! Awesome!
