This sounds like you might want to look into using VMWare Teams which allow for Virtual LAN Segments and on top of that you can create Virtual Network Adapters for each VM and connect them to whatever segment, however you want.
An easy way to give a VM internet access would be to use NAT for the adapter on a VM that you want to have a internet connection. NAT will configure you host machine to work like a router, serving it's own DHCP to NAT'd VMs. Since you already have DHCP setup, you might not want NAT.
Normally how I give inet access to a VM is to create a second virtual adapter for a VM and to just set that adapter to bridge with my hosts's connection. Being plugged into my school's network, my VM will pull receive from the same DHCP server that my host machine receives from the college. This can more or less turn your host machine into a switch with as many bridged adapters as you want. This might be better for you since your behind a router that probably serves DHCP. When you startup your VMs they should then be able to pull directly from your router.
If youre using VMWare Workstation then this might be helpful: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_net.html
I hope this helps and makes sense. Feel free to PM me with any questions.
