Answer Wiki:
Well if you have a server you wish to run VMware on i would first of all suggest using 2 NIC's teamed (and another 2 for redundancy). Yes you can RDP to each server at the same time as you would be connecting to 'server1','server2' etc not IP address of the NIC/VMware server. Each Virtual server will have its own IP address which you communicate to via a virtual connection between the virtual machine and the physical NIC. If you want more detailed info in why/how it will work read up on Virtualisation from any supplier or vendor.
