i would create 3 networks, 1 simulating the internet with the email server and DNS server in it ( NO INTERNET ACCESS at all), for your email and dns server create a domain something.dom and go from there., the other 2 networks would technically be two different users connected to the internet.

and there you go, you have a fully working lab.
