How do the virtual interfaces work w/ different subnets if you are connected

ie. Do you have to be plugged into a switch that can handle different subnets
on the same interface?
A switch doesn't care. It's working at level 2 so it does all its routing based on the MAC address, not the IP address. Routers, if any are involved, would need to know either by discovery or by explicit say-so that you're part of both subnets.
For load testing labs there's generally no routers between test clients and test servers, only switches. Big, honkin', high-speed switches.
