But before that I attempted to setup some OpenWRT VMs using instructions from the openwrt website. First, I downloaded https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/x86/64/openwrt-15.05-x86-64-combined-ext4.img.gz, then I moved it to the Ubuntu server and unpacked it.
gunzip openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext4.img.gz
qemu-img convert -f raw -O vmdk openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext4.img openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext4.vmdk
Once that was done, I converted it to qcow2 using the script here. Once that was accomplished I pulled the qcow2 file into KVM and cloned it three times. The three clones are for additional router functions in the future.
Once I had the KVMs generated I then updated the ethernet connection going to the card that had the No-Mans Land vlan on it. I added several more tagged vlans to the trunk that I had formed using the Netgear switch. I then setup a number of vlans using the instructions from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/vlan. I then updated the /etc/network/interfaces file to setup the new vlans from the trunk line (truncated):
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo br0-vlan6 br2-vlan300 br1-vlan200 enp3s0 enp4s5 enp4s6
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
iface enp3s0 inet manual
iface br0-vlan6 inet static

iface enp4s5.4 inet static
address 10.10.4.45
netmask 255.255.255.0

(and so on ...)
Now that I have the vlans (tagged) setup on the same Ethernet as the No-Mans Land vlan, I can concentrate on setting up the OpenWRT VMs to point to the correct vlans.
