That's exactly what I plan to do with CTCS when I finally figure out 
how to get -unstable up and running.   :)
Other than the network stuff, CTCS severely stresses a machine/OS, and 
writing a script to mess with the iface and do some stuff (with iptraf 
perhaps) and hook to the CTCS framework isn't that difficult.  It's not 
really a regression test, more a burn-in test, but if a machine passes 
CTCS for 24 hours, in my experience, it's working just fine, and it's a 
lot easier to set up and run than a real regression test.
