SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 on same cluster node

#21

As Russ mentioned, that is a supported scenario. There are a few gotchas,
which are detailed in the following KB article:

Is it possible to have 2 different versions of SQL running on the same
physical box for a cluster?

If so, am I correct in assuming that you need a different logical server
name for each instance?

fenclsr1 -- physical box
fensql2005 -- logical name where 2005 instance is installed
fensql2000 -- logical name where 2000 instance is installed

If this is correct, I'd appreciate confirmation from someone. We've never
done this before.
