Sniffing communication between virtual machines

Hello,

I need to record traffic between two middleware software (e.g. app server and a DB) which are deployed on two different 
virtual machines. The thing is that they may be physically deployed sometime on the same physical machine.

Would a SPAN port listener on the Switch be able to capture the traffic between them in that kind of a 
scenario/deployment? If not - then I would be grateful to learn now people are tapping into virtual environments in 
that regard.

Thank you in advance,
Tal
