We have mix of both SQL 2000 and 2005 enviroments. The push is to consolidate.

On 4 node windows 2003 64 bit cluster: Is it possible to host on 2 nodes -
SQL 2000 A/A Virtual server and on 3rd and 4th node SQL 2005 A/A vuirtual
server?

All virtual servers will have have there own database drives. MSDTC will be
in its own group containing IP and drive for MSDTC logs.

Do you see any issues? suggestions plz.

Yes. This can be done.

SQL 2000 will live on Win2003 x64.

SQL 2005 and SQL 2000 can live in a mixed cluster.

Here is the official word on mixed-mode cluster support for both 32-64 bit
and SQL 2000-SQL 2005 combinations.
