Cluster Network Name

Dear All,

On a failover cluster, how does does windows redirect the traffic to
correct physical machine when the clients connect to the virtual
network name.

It does not for W2003, as it does not have to:

the IP address (in the resource group) goes offline, and comes online on the
second node... it still is the same IP address, problem solved

(this works differently when you are talking about W2008, multi-site, and on
different IP subnets)
