Hans:
I'm not an expert on this yet, as my cluster is fairly new... but if I
remember correctly while I was setting it up, indeed, if a machine has a
different ServerName and is backhanded to, the URL resulting back to the
user will have the new server's name listed. I'd do a test of this
first... but, from my experience, I think you'll get what you want.
They have to either be on the same subnet, or be able to do multicast, in
order to participate in the cluster tho.
