Currently migrating a SQL application from an old Win2k cluster to some new
hardware.

The new hardware will run as a Win2K3SP1 cluster.

The App people would like to keep the names the same for all servers and
virtual services so that clients are not affected.

Downtime is not an option.

Whats the easiest way to do this?

Consider a DNS alias.
