Have any of you built virtual labs for training other teams? How?

I work for a service provider (mix of cisco and juniper) and we'd like to start training 1st and 2nd level support teams on various technologies related to our company. (we mostly do MPLS and L2 stuff, with some L3 BGP).

The dream is to have some kind of remote server with GNS3 or something where people can log into and load pre-built topologies with scenarios to train on (like ospf misconfigured or something like that). It would also be nice to have a sandbox mode where people can build their own topologies. If the topology gets really messed up, we can always blow it away and reset it.

Does anyone have something like this? Does it handle layer 2 technologies ok? (I remember a while ago GNS3 had issues with L2 tech and you couldn't virtualize switches, not sure if that's still the case)
