As other have suggested, you should use run your tests upon a jenkins slave node. We have a similar problem to you and we do this:
Jenkins -> Test Driver -> System Under Test Here, Jenkins communications directly with the Test Driver; the test driver communicates with several 'Systems Under Test'. Test Driver can communicate with VMware or EC2 to reset VMs or provision complex EC2 setups. Our Test Driver polls until all our nodes are on-line and ready to be tested. Hope this help.
