sql server clustering:
In SQL 2000 Clustering, can I have only one default instance for the entire
cluster or can I have one default per virtual server. In other words, can
all my SQL installs in a cluster be default, each on a different virtual
server?

1 Default or no default. Then you can have up to 15 named or all 16 can be
named :)

Each Instance gets its own virtual server. Due to SQL Instance naming
restrictions, you still only get one default instance per cluster.
Personally, I prefer to use only Named Instances on a cluster, just to keep
name appearances consistent.
