clustering question

I have a question regarding clustering Microsoft Virtual Server 2005. I
know that you can use Virtual Server to create clustered guest systems. My
question would be... Is it possible to actually run MS Virtual Server on a
clustered host? Something that would make it possible to failover
individual or all virtual guests to different physical hardware?

Thanks,
Craig Drake

And possible with load-balancing among the virtual servers and the total
of available hardware?
This would greatly reduce complexity.

At the DragonFlyBSD user list I have posted a message about clustering
virtualization (
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/users/2005-01/msg00115.html )
The diagram ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~mhellwig/dia/dfcluster.png ) is made
in mind for DF but replacing the "Operating System" with "Windows Server
2003" and replacing the "Clusterd operating system" with "Virtual Server
2005 <Cluster/Grid Edition>(?)" would get you the idea.

How about it?

This is not possible with Virtual Server 2005.
