If this is one virtual "dummy" switch/hub you are modelling, then you 
probably just need one "dummy" line, followed by several link lines:

dummy
        link:GigabitEthernet0/24,first-siwtch-of-network1,GigabitEthernet0/1
        link:GigabitEthernet0/24, Second-siwtch-of-network1,GigabitEthernet0/1
        link:GigabitEthernet0/24, first-siwtch-of-network2,GigabitEthernet0/1
        link:GigabitEthernet0/24, Second-siwtch-of-network2,GigabitEthernet0/1

If you have several dummys, then presumably you'll need to give them each 
a different name.

In both cases, will netdisco try and resolve "dummy" to a hostname?  A 
workaround might be to put an entry in /etc/hosts

127.0.0.2	dummy

or something like that maybe.
