I presume you've checked out osstest related posts on blog.xen.org.
Given your requirement you might want to use it in "production" mode
which automatically runs testcases and do bisection. I don't think it's
very easy to setup, you might want to speak to Ian Campbell or Ian

Not sure I understand this.

You can run all IT infrastructure and controller on the same host. The
minimal setup is two machines: one for runing testcase and the other for
everything else.

DNS/DHCP/TFTP are generanl IT infrastructure, not part of OSSTest. But I
