One way is:
Your Linux box's local home network interface card has to have all of
the gateway addresses the laptop expects configured as aliases.
You use ipmasq to masqarade all packets using these gateways for basic
network connectivity.
You would also need to have the DNS server IDs as aliases and run a
local bind listenning on those addresses, or write yourself a masq
module that knows how to masq UDP DNS requests. (Or tell your laptops
to always use TCP).

Sounds about right to me. Using alias rather than buying a bunch of
network cards is the step you were missing, I think.
