I use phpunit, selenium RC php api to run my testcases. My testcase looks like

1235$Deepan@Newton~/selenium/ide_scripts$
cat mytest.php
 'FF on linux',
      'browser' => '*firefox',
      'host'    => '10.211.55.8',
      'port'    => 4444,
      'timeout' => 30000,
    ),
    array(
      'name'    => 'FF on windows',
      'browser' => '*firefox',
      'host'    => '10.211.55.5',
      'port'    => 4444,
      'timeout' => 30000,
    ),
     */
    array(
      'name'    => 'Google Chrome on windows',
      'browser' => '*googlechrome',
      'host'    => '10.211.55.5',
      'port'    => 4444,
      'timeout' => 30000,
    ),
    /*
    array(
      'name'    => 'IE on windows',
      'browser' => '*iexplore',
      'host'    => '10.211.55.5',
      'port'    => 4444,
      'timeout' => 30000,
    ),
    array(
      'name'    => 'Safari on MacOS X',
      'browser' => '*safari',
      'host'    => 'localhost',
      'port'    => 4444,
      'timeout' => 30000,
    ),
    array(
      'name'    => 'Firefox on MacOS X',
      'browser' => '*chrome',
      'host'    => 'localhost',
      'port'    => 4444,
      'timeout' => 30000,
    ),
     */
    array(
      'name'    => 'Google Chrome on MacOS X',
      'browser' => '*googlechrome',
      'host'    => 'localhost',
      'port'    => 4444,
      'timeout' => 30000,
    )
  );

  protected function setUp()
  {
    //$this->setBrowser("*chrome");
    $this->setBrowserUrl("http://www.facebook.com/");
  }

  public function testMyTestCase()
  {
    $this->open("/index.php?lh=94730c649368393b6954cb9fc0802e0a&eu=iKjrC7Q2aC-8tcU7PVLilg");
    $this->type("email", "myemail@domain.com");
    $this->type("pass", "mypassword");
    $this->click("persistent");
    $this->click("//input[@type='submit']");
    $this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
    sleep(10);
    $this->open("http://apps.facebook.com/myapp/");
    sleep(4);
    $this->click("link=Play");
    $this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
    sleep(4);
    $this->click("navAccountLink");
    sleep(4);
    $this->click("link=Logout");
    $this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
    sleep(4);
  }
}

phpunit mytest.php

This will connect to browsers running inside virtual machines
